Sometimes in Life...

...we lead with our hearts, take a risk, and get hurt.

Today that happened to me. And honestly, while I sit here with a headache, I'm not sad that God made me like this.

I have been told I am too softhearted. And in a sense, that is true.

But, the way I see it, I'd rather get in the game and play the best I can and get hurt, than to play it safe and never get hurt.

I've decided it's not like me to play it safe.

I'm the kid that played football with the boys as the only girl as the quarterback because I couldn't run very fast. It's amazing how well I can throw a ball! :-)

I'm also the gal that supported two people in my last chapter in my life, with nothing in return except a broken heart.

Within that, I decided life is too short to not risk getting hurt.

I mean, one person has a college degree, and one almost has one, thanks to my support.

I did the right thing, even though it hurt more than anything.

And honestly, today was nothing in comparison to that.

I guess "perspective" is still the key.

And for today, I played the game and got hurt.

And tomorrow, I will play it again. And while I may get hurt, I'd rather take a risk than sit on the sidelines and never play at all...

Life.
Is.
Good.
Even when you get hurt playing the game.
