Unanswered prayers

Daily writing prompt
What’s the biggest risk you’d like to take — but haven’t been able to?

Well there was that lingerie store I had planned to open, over ten years ago, that never came to fruition. Although now that I’m very satisfied in my current job, I’m not even sure I’d want to take on something like that. And especially in today’s world, with the economy being what it is.

I always thought being a business owner was the coolest thing in the world. Being one’s own boss. But if you get yourself a good job where you’re barely being managed, much less micro-managed, it’s pretty sweet too.

Some days I can’t get over the good fortune that is this job. Some days it feels like my life is too good to be true. Not that it’s without obstacles, but overall I’m where I would have given anything to be, twenty-five years ago. Or even ten years ago when I thought opening a lingerie store was going to make my life complete.

Thank god for unanswered prayers.

  1. no joke CJ, I’ve been told many times that the worst thing that can happen to a person (directed at me) is that the things that I most desire come true.

    but I want to test this for myself so I’m telling God that I should be tested with $800 million dollars…you know…to see if there’s truth to this saying 😂😂😂
