“When life gives you a hand, take it, and try and push for the whole arm…”
Ritu
I wrote this last night then realised I should have added a couple of lines to explain!
You see, we should be grateful. Life and God, if you believe, does give us a lot. We have life. Homes, partners, kids, pets, a job… all these things are there, in varying amounts.
But sometimes life throws us a chance.
It’s not always easy to see it or understand it, but my quote above is to do with those ‘hands’ that are offered. I firmly believe that if we are given a chance, we should take it, milk it for all it’s worth, because, surely that was what the opportunity was thrown at us for… to grab it.
Amen!

I like the image and the metaphor. GO FOR IT. Or, when given half a chance, take it all.

It certainly makes sense, but then I have you down as a very sensible person with a slight kooky streak…Right? Cheers! x
