LouCeel on Commitment
I don’t think I’ve ever heard commitment described so well as LouCeel does here:
It can be awfully lonely, being on the outside looking in. And as for your fear of ‘getting comfortable’, committing - Have you ever stood on the side of the pool, thinking to yourself “Man that water’s going to be cold” and you hesitated to jump in for fear of the shock to your system? But you got up the courage and jumped in and it wasn’t so bad - the jumping in - and once in, you didn’t want to get out?
That’s what it’s like, committing.
Who doesn’t enjoy the pool once in? Ok, maybe if there are imported sharks in the water, or there’s an 8 year old with a mischievous gleam in his eye and a yellow watery halo around him.

I’m very much taken aback. And I am touched that you would bring notice to my comment. Thank you.
And thanks for commenting at mine - but you shouldn’t feel like you have to change the day for the Challenge. I don’t USUALLY do the Haiku thing. And I don’t anticipate combining Haiku and the 100 Word Challenge in the future. It just worked - this time. In the future, I’ll post twice when I do Haiku - once for the Challenge and once for the Haiku. Of course, I’m not going to guarantee that I’m gonna do the 100 Word every week, either.
Hey Lceel, you’re welcome. As for changing the day, it’s also because I’ve had a couple of other people say that they can’t do both, but would like to do this one too. So I think I may indeed change the day. Post the challenge Monday and then submissions go up on Thursday. Yeah, I think I’ll do that.
