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.

The thing is... I want to say exactly what I mean, in the genre it deserves. But even in this media I really can't.. - Who knows who might read this, and while I usually make no appologies in life (did once and will always  regret it) I still think that one should keep in mind the old addage. -  "A closed mouth gathers no feet!"

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.

1. The sped arrow. -- I'm assuming this applies to bullets et al.
2. The spoken word. -- Ain't it the truth?
3. The mistaken opportunity.

Basically the 3rd motto/rule is the gravest to observe.  It CAN come back to you. We put so much faith in the advice we read. For sure it must be true because we read it somewhere!

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"
