What was the last risk you took?

I loved the place,I never thought that there would be a possibility of me being able to keep it.....When my lawyer asked me if I wanted to have it....I nodded for lack of words....I did not fully understand the debt load I was assuming,but I was able to stay in the woods,by the river....the bath house,the spa set-up,trails,gardens...yes..all good. I took out a 2nd on the house to pay off my ex-wife....and then looked at the bills and expenses to keep it all running,oh my GOD....yes I had taken a risk...I mean here I was in the middle of 800 acres on one side,400 on the other and 1200 acres of national forest on the other...what was I going to do to make money ?  the RISK was now in upper case letters,followed by PRAY......Incredible as it might be,I have managed to scrabble together the money every month,doing the retreat,carpentry,painting,making stained glass panels,massages,waterjourneys.....and going on 3 years after that Risk..I am still here,still wondering how long I can do this...as the summer comes and beside making the nut, upkeep gets heavy in the summer as I beat back the jungle and keep things manicured, and the flowers watered,garden flourishing,MOWING...I am so happy my son is coming....whew..... I am happy that I took that RISK...I look around and realise that it created inner strength and helped me to grow....and deepened my ability to love.........and gave me a reason...to live this life..i love.
