... All the Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
Layin' in the sun,
Talkin' 'bout the things
They woulda-coulda-shoulda done...
But those Woulda-Coulda-Shouldas
All ran away and hid
From one...little did.
-Shel Silverstein

My list of want to's is a mile long. Alot of times I am scared to make things happen, I let myself get in the way. The only thing to fear, is fear itself, this I know. I get caught in the comforts of the predictable- and my life is loads of fun, but life has SO much to offer. I don't want to get stuck in a rut- get down to the wire and wish that I would have done, should have done, and know that I could have done, but I simply didn't- because I was too scared to tread into the unknown. I want to be bold and brave and go where I have never gone before. I want to teach my son to "seize the day, to make life extraordinary"- we learn so much from what we see, from actions and if he sees me living in and acting on 'fear'- then what is to become of him. There will always be that characteristic that lingers over him. Our experiences in the here and now play a huge role in the shaping and molding of who we are becoming and I want the pages of my life to be filled with detail, color, experiences, all the good and beauty that life has to offer- not coated with fear, ugliness and wishes that I never made come true.
What do you want to do, see, be, accomplish...before you leave this world?!?! Today's the day- your mountain is waiting, get on your way- make it happen.
