Potential

potential-the word gives so much of hope is scary at the same time with its uncertainty -what if expectations are misplaced -what if blame is led at my door for possible failure and disappointment knocks unexpectedly   fear keeps me awake hope keeps me half-alive optimism is a mindset pessimism appears closer home Life in … Continue reading Potential
