Grand-Dad Harry's Motto! - (Quit Yur Judgin.)
- Still only have 1 follower (and that's actually me) =(
- I have blog posts in my head all day, but really don't know if I want to write about them when I get here.
So onto the thoughts of today...
One dreary afternoon in England many, many years ago my Grandfather (Harry Whitehouse) recalled a motto. I can remember how the conversation took this turn because I had mentioned the motto of Trosnant School. Work hard, play hard.
It really is quite remarkable and if I were a smart person (Let's out that giant gorrilla for a start) - I would have paid attention to him. But, I am always in debt with attention and can't even keep up with the payments.
So here it is...
Grand-Dad Harry's motto: THREE THINGS THAT COME NOT BACK.
- The sped arrow. -- I'm assuming this applies to bullets et al.
- The spoken word. -- Ain't it the truth?
- The mistaken opportunity.
Or is it a better lesson learned if it is learned indeed by our own mistakes? The mistaken opportunity scared me when considering moving to the US. I was afraid of regretting the decision to not come.
When Gran-Dad died I was not there, nor there for the remaining 3 Grand-Parents passings. I can never take that back, or the days they might have missed me. No good-bye greetings, but I can not say "No regrets"
Grand-Dad Harry's Boat (forgive me if this isn't a boat) he also loved to talked about his war-time travels and adventures. http://www.royalnavalmuseum.org/
HMS Tigris
HMS Tigris (N63) was a T-class submarine of the Royal Navy. She was laid down at Chatham Dockyard and launched in October 1939.

Refusing to give up the dream...
I know why I have good reason to to fear disapointment; and sometimes talking about going home gives me that knowing you could be jinxing yourself feeling.
But I am entitled to have a dream. In fact a boss I had many, many moons ago said that if you could dream it you could have it. I've dreamt about this so long that I have woken up and gone back to bed again. It feels like an old familiar saying is mocking me... I went from can't do to can't don't.
This where you can wave to me.... if I am ever there. http://www.oggle.com/dem_harboureye.php On the hour you can see the Ferry drifting out of Portsmouth Harbour. I plan to take the 7:00am ferry because when I go home I am not going to sleep.... AT ALL!
