Should I stay or should I go?
When faced with forward motion
do you become paralyzed with fear;
or do you trudge fearlessly onward,
ready for whatever is headed your way?
The grass may not be greener on the other side of the road;
but
how will you know if you don’t take a closer look?
If she can risk crossing the line
then why shouldn’t we?
Ready.
Set.
Crawl!!
I’ll meet you on the other side!
😀
love this one too! Lots of fun but with something to think about.

This reminded me of an old quote–can’t remember it verbatim–something like: it’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all…it’s better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all.

Yes! I believe it was Laozi in the Tao who said that the only wrong thing one can do is to do nothing at all…

But she’s halfway there. Besides it was a small neighborhood road. 😊 With a lake on the other side.

Good luck with the editing Julia. You’ll get there. Then look back over your shoulder at me…still crawling. Lol Tough to write with a full time job, both physically and mentally draining.

I work part time, but still struggle. But writing’s like walking. Step by step and word by word on the slowest days will mean you get there in the end.

It will get you somewhere as opposed to going nowhere for certain. 😊

I feel your pain. It was no mistake I saw this one trying to get across the road today as I went back to work after lunch. I think Nike has the right idea…😉

Of course! The only wrong thing is to do nothing at all, unless of course one is tired…or meditating. 😉
