The Thursday Nonsense Quote: Steps

If you find yourself taking two steps forward and one step back with your endeavours, stop and think.

It’s always better that way than taking one step forward and two back.

Feel Good now!

    How does that help me if I’m walking backwards?
    I’m sure you can work it out, but I can’t ’cause my brain is hurting and it won’t THINK.
    I think I’d better go to bed.

      These are metaphorical steps, Cobs, so you can be walking in any direction, or even standing still, or even walking on your hands!
      [Phew. I may get away with that one]

        And I was metaphorically walking backwards, and I still can’t work it out.

        My one brain cell gets very tired at this time on a Saturday, so please don’t ask it to think or be sensible or even be weird, for I feel like I’m at least 200 years old right now and I think my brain cell has gone to sleepzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

              Absolutely. Half of my posts are written when I’m asleep. Or half asleep.

                Well … now we know the reason you’re always so tired, and also the reason for the weird dreams!

                    You have good dreams?
                    Aww, do tell!
                    We can work out what they mean! 🤓

                      I shall do a series of posts on some of my good dreams, Cobs. Obviously, they’ll only be snippets, because I can only remember parts, but they were good.

                      What a jolly good idea.
                      We could all have a go at deciphering them and making them make sense.

                      Who knows … a lottery win and early retirement might be in there somewhere.

    Thought-provoking and perhaps thinking it through before taking any steps may be a good idea.

      Indeed, Eugenia. Looking before leaping is always advisable (though not always necessary)

    Better to take two steps forward and one back – progress may not be swift, but it is certain we wil continue to advance! 🙂

    God Bless!

      My thoughts exactly, Prenin. Always forwards, in a roundabout way! 😀
