Not my 'Strong Suit'

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Time heals all wounds.

Would that we could go back?

Would that we could foresee

 and fix the future before it happens?

Life doesn’t work that way.

So we become reactive

 instead of proactive–

trying to repair what is broken

 rather than prevent it in the first place.
Trying to heal what is beyond our scope

 when we don’t even know the cure.

Patience is a virtue.

Slow and steady wins the race.

All good things come to those who wait

             …I’m waiting
