What if it works out?!

But what if it works out? Honey, you spent enough time imagining how it could all go wrong. Give the other possibility a little bit of attention. What if you apply and they say yes? What if you start something at this age and you're actually good at it? What if the next chapter of your life is the one so good that you'll be so glad you stuck around for? So, I'm 64. I still have things I wanna do. And I'm not going to talk myself out of every one of them before I even get started. Life has given us plenty of reasons to be cautious. I understand that. But sometimes we get so used to bracing ourselves for disappointment that we stop giving ourselves anything to look forward to. That's so sad. You can be hopeful and still have good sense. You can believe something good is coming and get up today and do your part to make that happen. You can't just wait for it to come to you. Make the call. Fill out the application. Let somebody know what you want. Let the universe know what you want. You don't have to know how the whole thing ends to take the next step. And when that little voice says, who do you think you are? Tell it, A woman who's making things happen. That's who I am.
