Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go.
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child born on the Sabbath Day,
Is fair and wise and good in every way.
I was born on a Sunday, 62 years ago today, and I'm heading full tilt into the last 3 decades of my life...god willing and the creek don't rise.
October 9 is Leif Erikson Day. I'm Norwegian on my dad's side -- Frantsen -- born in Minnesota, so it was interesting to just now discover I was born on the day that old Leif actually discovered America.
Forget Columbus. Norwegians were the first Europeans to set foot in the New World. According to Wikipedia, a Norwegian ship named Restauration landed in New York Harbor on October 9, 1825.
Anyway, it's the start of a new world for me, too, what with no dogs and no boy for the first time in 25 years. Exciting, scary, sad, liberating...and definitely a new frontier in my life.
What will I do with it?
