…or, go get that puppy and become a bird hunter now!
The old saying, “Timing is everything,” is one of those that seems wise because it can be used in just about every situation – good or bad. In short how would you argue against it?
“If old Dave hadn’t a left early, he wouldn’t be laid up in the hospital and could still hunt.” While across town, Jimbo laments, “Man, if we had only left a few minutes earlier we’d a missed all this wreck traffic and gotten to the game on time.”
I try not to think about “what ifs”, and “if only I had ofs.” Lordy be, it is more a waste of time than waxing your truck before entering a mud bog rally. If you spend a lot time thinking about time, I’d say you have too much time on your hands.
I’d rather think of timing as in “there is no time like the present.” They say if you wait for the proper timing to have a kid, or buy a house, you’ll always be homeless and alone. I lost my best old friend and bird dog a few months ago. She never worried about the past or time. Now I am pondering when to buy a puppy. Notice I said when, not if. It is another timing question – and I don’t want to over think it.
I bought my last puppy about 7 years ago – 3 months before my daughter was born. Now what was I thinking? Truth is I wasn’t.
