Never cross the path of a black cat.
Say excuse me and walk around. Cats appreciate manners.

Wearing your birth clothes will bring you unemployment. 

If you blow out all your Birthday candles in one breathe you will get everything you wish for. Unless you wished to leave some candles burning. 

An itchy palm means money will come your way.

To make a happy marriage, the bride must wear: Something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue....and occasionally, nothing at all.

Time Frame

Hindsight and perspective walked hand in hand 
along the sand, on a breezy beach of logic. 

By chance it did happen, though not unexpected, 
experiences inevitable meeting. 

Through the crisp cool air, experience did blare,
 a loud and clear voice of reason. 

"It's been far from boring, spending so long exploring, 
that which I knew not before. 

Some called it tedious, though I knew it not meaningless, 
so on I kept to keep going. 

And now that I've met you, I can certainly address you 
in a manner of grateful delight. 

You've made it all worth it, not to dessert it; 
My trifle that seemed such a plight. 

Had I seen fit before, not to explore, 
treats of knowledge I'd never have eaten. 

Though it's taken a while, determination somehow, 
got me here if not somewhat whether-beaten. 

So I'll leave you now with a respectful bow, 
a courteous nod and a wave. 

We'll surely re-meet, but for now a great feat 
of strength and courage I must brave. 

For to start again, is both the pleasure and bane 
of our very insightful meeting."
