Last week, I opened up a chocolate to find the following message:
"It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance."
Later that evening, I was having a post-dinner pick-me-up (it was that kind of day). Guess what the message on that chocolate wrapper said?
"It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance."
Alright, alright Dove. You've made your point.
While I could write a post about how hard it is to open up my heart after the number of heart-aches I've been through, that's not what this post is about. Instead it's about yet another quote from a piece of chocolate... consumed on another day. (I do have to fit into a dress for the wedding I'll be attending with the 2 ex-boyfriends this weekend.)
This quote posed the following question:
"What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?"
Isn't that a good question? It certainly kept me thinking long after that chocolate had been consumed... and digested.
A couple of answers that came to mine for me were: Open a "Shop Around the Corner" type of bookstore - but for adults, not children and write a book. Both just seem so daunting & unachievable - but a girl can dream, right?
What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?
PS For all the Parenthood watchers out there - is anyone else wishing to be spontaneously serenaded by a man with a ukulele?
