Something I'm Glad I Didn't Do

Recently on the freecycle group in my community, someone was giving away a Winnie the Pooh Baby Sign that has the name Liam. I don't know if it is from Liam's family or what. I did think it was a funny item to give away as I thought who in the world is going to want a Winnie the Pooh sign that has the name Liam. Then Friday on my way to work, I ended up behind a pickup truck that had the name Liam on its license plate. In some strange desire to be helpful and informative in a pathetic way, I laughed at the possibility of pulling up beside that truck and asking the driver if he/she knew of freecycle and seeing if they would be interested in that Winnie the Pooh Liam sign! Had I done that, surely the driver of that pick-up would have dialed 911 and said there is a crazy person here!

Thank God that thought flew right out of my head! But it did concern me that I would think this!

I wasn't Sister Bold on my mission. Sometimes I did ok, but fear definitely was a challenger to me at times. I do wish I could be more bold in other areas of my life, such as in work/social situations that could benefit from gentle boldness.
