6 Word Fridays: If


**************************

If I had a dime for
every time someone said "I wish"
I'd be a millionaire by now.

If is just a metaphor for
"I wish" or "Perhaps" or "Maybe ..."

If this, then that, but what?
If you are waiting on a
sign from above, this is it.

If you are waiting for the
exact right moment in time, that
is now. Right now, I say!

If you are waiting for everything
to be perfect, please give up.
Life is not perfect, it isn't.

If you wonder "what if I"
then quit wondering. Explore!  Find!  Do!

************************

Thanks, Melissa, for your ever inspiring word o' the week.  This week's topic of 'if' was quite timely, as I was discussing a friend's pending move and "what if" possibilities with him. 

If, indeed.

Wow, THANK YOU all -- motivational speaker? Hmmm.

Well ... life's next journey takes me to grad school for my Ph.D. in public administration and with effort, to teaching at the college level.

Perhaps I'll employ my motivational speaking then :)
