Far to Go

"Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,

Thursday's child has far to go,

Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for his living,
And the child that is born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe, and good and gay."

~ Mother Goose

I was born on a glorious Thursday, some 19 years ago.
Then, I grew and I grew.
I learnt and I learnt.
But what if, on that eventful day, I hadn't been born?
What if it all was written out differently?

Should we question all the little what ifs,
and wonder how the picture would have been painted?
Or should we just be thankful and peer positively into the horizon?
To look past all the storms ahead.
And still have the zest to want to reach the sky.
And then some.

I know, with every fibre of my being, that I have far to go.
So much further.
But a casual look behind me,
fuels the desire to not only want to continue on;
Rather to charge, with grace and goodness.

It sure helps to have a genuine smile
plastered on my face whilst I'm at it. =)

Bric-A-Brac

All good things come to those who wait.
BUT
Time and tide wait for no man.

The pen is mightier than the sword.

BUT
Actions speak louder than words.

You're never too old to learn.

BUT
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Slow and steady wins the race.

BUT
Time and tide wait for no man.

Too many cooks spoil the broth.

BUT
Many hands make light work.

Birds of a feather flock together.

BUT
Opposites attract.

Doubt is the beginning of wisdom.

BUT
Faith will move mountains.

Silence is golden.

BUT

The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

Wise men think alike.
BUT
Fools seldom differ.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

BUT
Out of sight, out of mind.

Look before you leap.

BUT
Strike while the iron is hot.

Hold fast to the words of your ancestors.

BUT
Wise men make proverbs and fools repeat them.
