5 Minute Friday: RISK

Want to know how Five Minute Friday got started? All the details are over here now on its own, special Five Minute Friday page.

Because, as we all know, the first rule of Five Minute Friday is leaving an encouraging comment for the person who linked up before you. Casey is an amazing mom and a dear friend. I figure if she can make time for this today with her busy life so should I!

So, set your timer, clear your head, for five minutes of free writing without worrying about getting it right.

Here goes nothing. 

only 5 minutes...

my life feels like a complete risk right now. 
Frank retiring from the USMC. 
 a new baby. 
Arianna starting college in the fall.
Frank starting school in August.
farrier school.
staying in California.
the unknown
starting a new life.
retiring an old life.

It's all a risk. you see up until now there was a pretty much no fail plan. 

but now. 

life is a risk.

and it is frightening. 

knowing that we are raising a family of 7 children and not knowing what the future holds. Up until now there has always been a plan. but now?

there are bigger risks. 

bigger what if's 

bigger why did we choose this?

bigger what of we didn't choose the right thing?

and is it even enough of a risk?

why here?

why now?

it just doesn't make any sense.... but I suppose if it did. then it wouldn't be much of a risk at all. 

STOP.
