For the last three months, I have worked like a mad woman with only one goal in mind, a new commercial sewing machine. My old one had waved the white flag by the end of last year and right now I do my ‘magic’ on a loaner machine I could borrow from one of my former students.
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are back together. Why do I know that? Beats me! It looks like I don’t have a choice anymore, it’s everywhere, no escape, not even if I try -and I did. I didn’t know they were a couple before, and I wish them well, as well as they wish me well. Oh wait, they don’t know me. But I don’t know them either, so why do I care? I don’t! Oh my gosh, I am a terrible person. I don’t care about Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck.
In school, we got tormented with Latin phrases, many I learned and forgot but some I still remember to this day.
Fortes fortuna adiuvat – Fortune favors the strong/brave
Being strong or brave often means taking a risk. No risk -no fun! Will the brave not just have luck but also be entertained? And what makes us strong? Pain? Love? Hunger? The knight in the fairytale is willing to slay the dragon, and in exchange, the king will allow him to marry the princess. Is it insanity or bravery? Perhaps a mix of both? Maybe the promised reward affects our courage more than anything. If the princess is pretty enough and the kingdom is a nice one, it might be worth risking your life.
