You just never know....

what can happen when you take a chance!!

It is funny that people hold back so often; we don't say what we want to say in fear of the reaction we may receive. The response may be negative:

"Will you go out with me?"

"No, I am having a wart removed that night and
will need a year to recover, but thank you for asking."

But that percieved negative could actually be positive because, to you, warts are more disgusting than the yolk of a hardboiled egg (in your opinion, but that IS the topic, isn't it?) Or, you could get a positive response to your inquiry, but later learn that she loves egg yolks and has more warts than the Wicked Witch of the West and the personality to match! (maybe no one asked HER out!)

Why are we afraid? Haven't we had enough life experience to know that we can survive some disappointment? No matter how rough your day is, no matter how difficult a situation can be, you will live to see tomorrow. There will only be ONE time that you are wrong in this scenario and you won't be around to lament your decision!

I write all this knowing full well that I had something very important to say on Friday and danced around it knowing full well that the ultimate point was going to be missed in all of my side-stepping (yes, I have fear as well!). But, today, someone was doing a little dance on the same subject. Knowing the steps well, I saw where it was going and simply asked: "Do you have something you want to say?" or something like that because the answer to that question blurred my vision and part of my memory! Let's just say that the person did indeed have something to say and did so in the most charming and adorable way that I don't want to embarrass him by posting it here: it is emblazened in my memory, and we are the only ones that count in the situation. (So, I rush to post it in my blog, right?)

I'd post a photo, but none of those to which I have access do him the justice that he deserves. ALSO, I'd have to ask his permission first.
