What a creative write you have here. I think it is called life. I keep asking Santa to bring me a crystal ball. Still waiting... Hahaha!!! Have a blessed day week to come writing away........

Great epigram, and true. I've asked that question many times. Just like my dad used to say, "this one will have to learn the hard way".

Hi Gershon, such true words wisely penned. I should of known beforehand my learning disabilities would impede me in the Navy. Oh well, I tried. My late husband, older brother, niece and nephew all did well in the military.
