Risks

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out to another is to rsk involvement.
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is
to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return.
To live is to risk dying.
To hope is to risk despair.
To try is to risk failure.

But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing does nothing, has nothing and is nothing.
He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he cannot learn, feel, change, grow, or live.
Chained by the certitudes, he is a slave; he has forfeited his freedom.
Only a person who risks is free.

Summer Is Over

Well it is official it is the last day of summer. However, judging by the weather it ended two weeks ago and the leaves are changing up here. At least I get to enjoy my first autumn in Muskoka which will be nice as I will see mulitcolored trees for miles on end. However, the dreaded winter is around the corner.

Missing In Action

Just to let everyone know I'm still around. It's just time has not been an ally of mine lately. I hope things will slow down a bit at work so I can keep this blog up to date. In the meantime I'll do what I can.

The Latest

As Charles Dickens once wrote "It was the best of times and the worst of times". I had a very tough week at work even as it was a shortened one. I had a relaxing weekend as I spent the weekend at my girlfriends' parents cottage as we celebrated her mother's birthday. It was a great time. However, I have been feeling very tired lately and I'm hoping to be 100 perecent very soon which will be unlikely as I have another long week ahead of me. I just hope to survive and continue my quest to find my "sweet spot".

Just The Latest

I had a great long weekend it was seeing my family again. The weather was bad but overall it was good. This week however has been weird. At work I haven't really (or at least I feel) done anything productive. I just dug holes for road signs and the day before rode in a truck all afternoon. I shouldn't really complain since it is nice to get an easy time at work but I am someone who likes to be doing things. Not to mention there is always the fear the hatchet will fall because there isn't enough work. The weird part is I feel tired still. Anyways, at least the weekend is around the corner.

End Of Summer Is Around The Corner

The Labour Day weekend is here and it looks like summer is ending. It certainly went by very fast. I could defintely say I have learned some lessons this season especially in living in faith and taking a big step in life. Things are going well and I'm kinda of looking forward to fall. Meaning I love the fall but I don't like what comes after(winter yuk). Anyways I'm going to enjoy my long weekend here as I'm back home visiting family. Hopefully the weather will improve as it was very rainy today.
