Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?

Quote…

Time is like a river. You can not touch the same water twice because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of your life.” – Unknown.

I have many sayings that I practise and try to live my best life through.

But ‘Life is like a river…is always comforting for me.

I grew up in country New South Wales, a state in Australia, and the Richmond River served as a boundary to our property.

It served us with food and recreation time as we relaxed and caught fish from its waters. Our mother was happy that the river provided healthy sustance for our growing bodies.

It served us through good times, gave us water for our stock, and enriched and enabled our crops to grow to full potential, whilst during times of drought, it taught us patience.

It was a playground for us children as our parents taught us to swim and value life.

During times of drought or flooding rains the river taught us to value life; to learn and understand that dangers will always come our way but with good preparation our lives will continue to ‘flow like a river’.
