irrational fear

Recently I led a walk with some work colleagues. We had to walk over a bridge which went across a busy road. One of my friends was shaking like a leaf and I had to help her across. She has a fear of bridges. I really felt for her. Funny how we can all have our own irrational fears.

Brains is awesome .
