Take the plunge. They said that if you don’t take risks, it’s like you are living on the sideline, letting life pass you by.

It’s scary. I am one of those people who are not big risks-taker. I’m scared of failing. I’m scared of leaving my comfort zone. I am not an adventurous person. And when I know that with the risk I’d take my family will get affected, I won’t gamble on it.

I took the plunge one time. I took the risk. I fell in love with the wrong guy. I knew it. I knew it was wrong, that it wouldn’t amount to anything in the long run. But I took the risk… and failed. Big time! From then on, I stopped. It’s not worth it. I caused heartache to my mom then and I wouldn’t want to do that again to my family.

Take the plunge but be prepared for the consequences.

Lyn, my friend, will be cross country moving by next month. She was offered a very good opportunity she can’t pass up and have decided to accept it. But the opportunity requires her to relocate. She was hesitant at first because she’s grown accustomed to her place but then she realized that opportunities like that come once in a lifetime, she might as well get out of her comfort zone and take the risk.

I admire her for that. I hate taking risks. Especially a big one like the risk she’ll be taking. I hate losing, failing. I’d rather stay in my comfort zone, thank you very much. But there are days when I’ve been thinking if I’ve been passing on so many opportunities because of this fear.

Yes, there are days when I want to be alone… When I would love some peace and quiet for both my body and soul. Prayers help. But a serene place where I can commune with nature is even better. I talk to Him wherever I am but when it’s quiet, I can “hear” Him more.

I’m in need of some alone time. Soon.

I have been a purchaser in one of the previous companies I’ve been with. So it is no surprise that some people from that company call me up from time to time. Like last week when they were looking for a supplier for projector headlights. The problem is that the supplier I know is no longer in business. Thank goodness I know Carid.com carries this item. I told them about it.

I am usually not really chummy with my former co-workers and I don’t entertain queries like that. But some of them became friends even before I said goodbye to the company so it’s more of a favor for a friend than anything else. That’s okay with me.

I am a big music fan. When I work, music keeps me company. Like right now, I’ve been busy working my ass off with music on the background. A local radio station plays wonderful slow music on Wednesdays and early Thursdays. I love it! I always make sure I am tuned in during these hours/days.

Right now, Josh Groban is singing She’s Out of My Life. Ahh… Sweet music!

It reminded me of those times I was so stressed out with work, riding the bus and dreading the coming hours. I hated my job back then! But to calm me down and set things in motion for me, I would wait for a favorite song to be played on the radio and it would soothe my high-strung nerves.
