Life is a journey. A snaking highway to somewhere’s melody with nowhere’s chords.

Uphill, and downhill glides, Rowdy twists and turns, silly roundabout journeys. Life’s wheel of joy and tears Our circular existence.

Sometimes forwards other times backwards, or is it going both ways? Slowly slipping — Gliding,

clinging on, for dear life —

Living life, doing the best we can. Singing and dancing in the rain. Celebrating and enjoying life!

Crying and mourning when our life’s wheel hits a speed wobble and a bump or two, or three, or the dreaded unlucky-lucky number thirteen. Unexpected curveballs tossed too high or too low. A duck-and-dive out-of-balance life.

Life, is for the resilient, clinging on — We do that, best.

Life is a journey. A fun-filled journey with highs and lows. It’s there to enjoy. — 13 or no 13, does it matter? —

Live life, the best you can. Enjoy the ride.
