Precarious Position!
Ever had an experience, a time in your life where things were well, pretty precarious and you weren’t sure what to do next?
Many of us have experienced that fear of the unknown, that hesitant sensation of OMG what do I do now.
I’ve been there a time or two and this is what I learned about the risk of it all… Don’t just stand there, Move, Jump, Go forward! Afterwards sorry or not, you still did something.
You didn’t stand there and wait for something to happen to you. You made the first move.
I’m presenting you with one of my favorite (funny) 3 minute clips of one of the best know movies starring 2 of the best know hunkie dunkies (gorgeous guys) Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Enjoy, laugh and remember when in doubt, Jump!

You should be laughing now. I know I do everytime I watch this. Have a great weekend, and remember when in doubt, Jump! Penny
The Why About This 
Oh, how I loved that movie! When I think back to some of those times you have mentioned, some of my jumps were with a little help from friends, so I guess they were more like a push instead of a jump (lol). It is good to have friends in your corner that will give you that little nudge you need at times. Oh, I think I just described you, my friend! Blessings for a beautiful week Penny. 🙂
Thanks LuAnn, yes it was a great movie. You do say the nicest things my friend, much appreciated! 🙂
Great movie! Sometimes you just have to do something about it… 🙂
Yeah, in case of the movie fun too! 🙂
Ok Penny – will heed this advice – actually working so hard on it ~ but big stakes for my next move! Great post dearest friend ~ am going to watch the hunks now 🙂 🙂 xo
Laugh away Robyn, yes definitely hunks. Please, please keep me posted re: your next big move! You are in my thoughts muchly my dearest friend, with love, Penny xox
i LOVE that movie! Get away from me…I wanna FIGHT them! BUT he jumped!
Yes! Yes he did! 🙂
You make some very excellent points.
It’s always best to try something new and then move forward with it. Risk is always our best curiosities.

Hey Charlie, just checked out your blog. It is hot! I’m heading back over there in a sec! Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
I will await your presence.
🙂
I’m there!
I am coming to the conclusion that fear of the unknown is reserved for the young. Butch and Sundance was the first film I went to see alone. That is a great clip 😉
One of my favorites, actually. I’m afraid I was this way when I was younger too! Now I just try to spread the word…Life is for the living! Thanks, 🙂
LOL – I can’t swim either!!!
This reminds when we took a flight from PR to St. Lucia many moons ago & we were in a propeller plane over the ocean. I was like OMG what if this plane goes down? I can’t swim!
Hubby looks at me & says – We’d all be dead if this plane went down.
Hmmmm…I guess so.
xx 🙂 🙂 xx
Gotta live in the moment, your husband had the right of it Rosy! 🙂 xx
If you don’t make that jump you will never know. That clip says it all in everybody’s lives. Yes, you might squish at the bottom, and you won’t know if you can swim until you hit the water, but how will you know if you don’t try?
I made the jump a couple of weeks ago and it was the best move I made. Turns out I can swim after all, and I didn’t squish at the bottom. Squishing is bad.
I love that clip. Maybe I’ll get round to watching the film as well at some point … add it onto my to do list LOL
The movie is worth seeing, you will laugh all the way through. And both those fellows are brilliant actors, but I think they spend half the movie trying not to laugh themselves. 🙂
I think I shall add it to my list … will probably order it off of Amazon 🙂
They certainly looked like they were enjoying themselves. They also looked like they were ad-libbing as well 🙂
That precarious rock is … rather precarious. Wouldn’t like to walk near that on a windy day 😉
Hugs and big smiles to you and your family 🙂
😀 If I drown I swear to god I’ll kill ya! So much of that movie was just those two trying not to laugh.
Yes it was. A total kick and I loved it! 🙂
One of AnElephant’s favourite movies, great scene.
And great advice.
Apparently Elephants can not jump.
But this one has very recently done just that!
Maybe he’ll share the story sometime.
Thanks, Penny.
One of my favorite movies also, glad you enjoyed this clip. Jumping is good, healthy too! thank you, Penny 🙂
In a way I think we are always standing in a precarious way, just like that rock! Sometimes it’s more “visible” than others. Being alert and -as you say- making a move is wise and healthy!
🙂
Yes, you and I definitely agree on this one! 🙂
What a clever writer you are I would never have put this together too logical I guess. But a wonderful post and Movie ..now those two were “hotties” back in their day as well. LOL
have a beautiful Blessed Blogging weekend go out and have some fun! god Bless!
Thanks Len, I do think out of the box. Someone asked me recently if I spoke any foreign languages, I answered, “Are you kidding, I am a foreign language”. Nodoby can quite figure me out or what I’m going to say next, that is. lol. You too, the bestest weekend ever, Penny 🙂
Thank you wise woman I got your message, have a nice week end. 🌹
Thank you Tahani, you also have a most wonderful weekend. Penny 🙂
Great post with a great movie clip, loved those 2! Let’s jump into today! HAve a great day Penny.
Ute 🙂
Thanks Ute I will, you too! 🙂
Wow what a terrific classic western movie!!! I love the bike scene and the musical score!!! Cheers Nonoy Manga
Yeah, I agree although the end of the movie is well done also I think! Thanks 🙂
Ya the ending was a Freeze frame it made them Legend.
Yes, I mean you know what would happen in real life, but because the action is, as you said stopped in the freeze frame “frozen” in time, their personalities seem to live on and on! Just love it!
Last time I check history they survive the bolivian gun fight. And i couldn’t believe it.
Hey it’s all about attitude (theirs – lol), although sometimes I do question historical accounts. At least a smidge! 🙂
