There never is a perfect time



We had gone back and forth about when we should get the addition to our family. It seems there is never a good time. We were trying to coordinate their arrival around my brother’s wedding, as we would be gone a week for the festivities. We wanted to be properly educated and have everything set up just so – the coop, the chicken run, and the fence. Of course we wanted Ryan’s list of crucial chicken raising questions answered properly.

Surprisingly, that night when I shared this information with Ryan, we both came to the sudden realization that we had better act now – as in why wait until the chicken coop is patched up, and the chicken run is built? Since the chicks would be living inside with us, we had two whole months to get to those details.

So the next day we went to get our chicks. We were reminded that we can spend our whole lives planning and preparing for special events. At some point we just have to jump in and do it. I remember trying to decide when was the ideal time to get married, or when we should have our first child. It seems there is never a perfect time. At some point we have to go for it!

I so agree with you Robin! It is so difficult to follow one's subconscious desires when the pragmatic and often fearful conscious self is constantly giving orders. I just saw the movie, PS I love you last night. While a bit corny and not quite Oscar material, it is a beautifully motivating movie in terms of just going for it. Thanks for your insightful post.
