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, Falling Up)
Too often when I get scared or unsure, I become a Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda. It’s like a disease. I woke up with a case of the WCS’s this morning, and that’s not what I want. Have a made mistakes in my past? Sure, who hasn’t. Have a done things I wish I “could” undo? Of course. But no matter what happened then, I have to live in the NOW and move toward the unknown.
So this morning I’m ignoring the WCS’s on my way to becoming a Do!
Care to join me?

I’ll see your Shel and raise it:
Listen to the mustn’ts child. Listen to the don’ts.
Listen to the shouldn’t haves, the impossibles, the won’ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me.
Anything can happen child. Anything can be.
~ Shel Silverstein
You go, girl!

I love that book! And how did I miss this post? I’m going back through to look for your crazy idea post.

There wasn’t a crazy idea post. That was just an e-mail I sent out.
