Time to stick my neck out & get down off my post!

It's Time To Take A Risk

By: Janette

I'm taking a risk

I cannot say how,

In due time I may tell

But this will be it for now.

I can always stand to hear

A positive word or two,

Of encouragement, it helps

Or a pat on the back from you.

I was told to come in

And "WOW all of us there",

I'm pretty sure I did just that,

But it still turned out unfair.

I try to be positive

I hate when I'm not,

I try to do good

But "not good enough" is what I got.

So, for now just wish me luck

And yes, in due time I may tell,

For now, my spirit they have broken

And THEY have made me feel like hell!

I don't know how many of you read my post about turtles as part of what I'm thankful for last November, but if you did you will know that a turtle doesn't get anywhere without sticking it's neck out. And a quote from my cousin back in VA, "Turtles may be slow but they are tenacious and single minded. A lot can be accomplished with those traits." Just because a turtle is older, it doesn't mean it can't get a job done, AND the older they are, the wiser they are. I was told once that maybe it's time to take a risk and be like the turtle I wrote about and stick my neck out. It may have been meant in a different way, but I get to choose the way I do it!!! It's that time,....I'm going to give it a try and see what happens. And in time, we will see how much was accomplished by doing just that.
