What if I fall?
UnSplash.com
I strive to be positive, otherwise I can’t thrive. However, the ugly head of reality continually rears up in my face. So I know that many times I’m actually going to fall. But no matter how many times — or how hard I fall, the only choice is to drag myself back up and start climbing again.
Of course my self-talk takes a negative turn after a fall, and I ask myself
“What if I fall again?”
Then on the breeze I hear the faintest whisper… “But what if you fly?”
“There is freedom waiting for you,
On the breezes of the sky,
And you ask “What if I fall?”
Oh but my darling,
What if you fly?”
― Erin Hanson

Thank you Michelle! 😀 The poem gives me goosebumps every time I read it.
With the new hiring freeze, I don’t know how I’ll ever get a job out west. Especially since I’ve already been failing for 5 years. But I’ll imagine Crystal and me taking wing to the desert! Huge hugs.

I am not afraid to fly! Even if I fly in the wrong direction, at least I did. Thank you Teagan for this wonderfully inspiring post, and thank you Chris for hosting it.

Haha! You are a delight Kathryn. I’ve always said that some people are born without one of the senses, like sight or hearing. Well, I was born without a sense of direction! I could get lost inside a paper bag. So if we fly off in the wrong direction, we’ll enjoy the journey together. Huge hugs.

You are *so* king GP. Heartfelt thanks for this wondrous comment.
(When I was very, very small I used to sprinkle sparkly laundry detergent on my head, imagining it was Tinker Bell’s fairy dust. Then Jump down from my dad’s big toolbox (it was about 2 feet high) imagining I flew like Peter Pan.)
Have a thriving Thursday! Mega hugs.
