The Beautiful Island Of San Miguel de La Palma

San Miguel de La Palma – A diamond in the rough. – YouTube

When I saw on the news what is happening on that beautiful island of La Palma, it saddened me enormously. We’ve been there a couple of years ago. The one and only time we have visited that part of the world and I can tell you that I am pleasantly surprised…

If wishes were fishes, we’d all cast nets.

And…

If wishes were fishes and cattle were kings, the world would be full of wonderful things

Meaning…

If wishes were instantly granted, we’d all swim in riches

So…

If wishes were horses then beggars would ride,

If turnips were swords I’d have one by my side.

If ‘ifs’ and ‘ands’ were pots and pans

There would be no need for tinker’s hands!

Basically the point is wishes are useless. Or more simply: “Shut up and work harder.” It’s that simple.

September Rhymes With Remember

… of the birthdays you will never celebrate or no longer part of

…the life of the people you once knew and still think of

…what could have been if things and circumstances were different and

…of other memories you could have been making but now are just a part of

…wishful thinking.

It is September again.
