throw it out there

It's in the throws of the three-quarter mark,
that time in the project when I'm so in I can't back out,
but I could.
I could throw it away.
Say it was just learning.

But I won't because people committed time and effort and said yes and followed through.
Completing the project is the least I could do.
I should write them a thank you note, too.

And isn't there that point in every project
when you doubt yourself, but
that's kind of what life is like,
doubting yourself then pushing through.
Right?

Today I am grateful for a deadline,
a timeline,
projects to complete,
happy hour tonight,
dinner Saturday evening,
and a visit from two beautiful women who I hugged in secret.

I am grateful for the weekend.
