"Risk - noun - exposure to the chance of injury or loss; a hazard or dangerous chance"

Risks are, by nature, a wee bit scary for the average person. Some things are more risky for one person than for another. For some, riding a motorcycle is a risk. For others, talking to an insanely beautiful person is a risk. For yet others, walking out their front door is a risk. It depends on the person.

Last night I took a risk that I haven't taken in some time. We might say that through events in life, I have become a little "gun shy" when it comes to particular risks. However, thanks to the kick in the pants from a dear friend of mine who refused to talk to me anymore until I did it, I did it.

And you know what? It was a wonderful experience.

By the end of the evening, I was walking on cloud nine thanking my friend for making me do what I wanted to do, but didn't have enough guts to do. And if you want to know what it is I did...too bad. :) Some things aren't meant to share with the world! :) But I was excited about it, even if it wasn't a big deal to other people...it was a milestone for me. It gave me a smile that lasted the night and through the whole day today. :)
