(Photo by Rose Wind Jerome)
There are moments when I KNOW I should refrain from pressing that send button. I’m well aware that it could be detrimental in more ways than one and yet I just can’t stop myself. I go back and forth between “this is a really bad idea” to “you’ll never know if you don’t try”. Of course my rational self always loses such battles and my other self takes control; the one full of hope and what ifs.......


I'd much rather take a risk than play it safe for you never know what the outcome may be. Regardless of what happens in the end I'm always happy that I tried! The anticipation gives me the butterflies.....makes me feel like I'm alive!!


Have a great weekend everyone!

Risks are good. :)

That photo very much reminds me of the album cover for Carole King's Tapestry. It's in the way the light shines through the window. Very good record; if you haven't listened to it, give a try.

As for risks, I'm a very play-it-safe kind of person. Whenever I take a risk, it always seems to blow up in my face. But this post is very vague. Who knows what you're trying to achieve with this attempted risky thing. Whether you do or don't do the risky thing, you'll never know how things would have turned out if you went the other way. Remember Robert Frost, it's not the where you're going, but what you see along the way. (Well, that's what I got from that poem, maybe you got something different.)

But back to my original point, go listen to Tapestry. It's good.

I think you're spot-on right with this one . . . unless you're drunk at 2 a.m. and sending it. Ha. Otherwise, I always feel better putting something out there because there's no way you can get anything back if you don't play at all. Sounds like a greeting card for Vegas. Ha. Have a good weekend Miss Ash.

I agree Miss Ash. I was just thinking of that quote today in fact...
"A life lived in fear is a life half lived."

Miss Ash said...

Christielli, I agree!

WIGSF, well that's the thing with risks...either they work out or they don't but you're not living if you play it safe. I'll check out the album!

2DP, Ha! no no I wrote this mid afternoon....after I hit the send button! Yikes! Enjoy the concerts.

JLee, Ohhh I like that quote! It's very true. Life would be boring without taking risks.

Here's to risks, my dear. Stay brave!

Take the risk. I don't know what the risk is, but go for it.

Big Ben said...

I'm hoping the risk is an affair with a married female women that involves passionate sex during your lunch hour.
