Ooh what a lovely compliment, @simon62 thank you! Its great to have fellow travellers along the road less taken...especially when you can take flight and soar overhead on the magical mystery carpet ride instead 😊😊😊

I am a Child of the Dragon on this twenty-second day of our Moon. πŸ˜‡

Well one things for sure....as a dragon you will have no need of a flying carpet then!!! πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‡πŸ˜Ž

Handy though, for ease of descent from my ivory towers. The Child of the Dragon will find each Day of the Moon , to his benefit or his caution, depending on his native view. πŸ˜‰

Two sides to every tale (tail) especially if one has a dragon's scale!!

Bet the treasure trove of gold comes in mighty handy too!

I refer, of course, to the INNER treasure, not the silly metal stuff πŸ΅πŸ‘‘πŸŒŸ

Yes, the silly metal stuff varies value every time a President sneezes. I've been out scrolling. And I find I'm puzzled, or maybe not. Many posts refer to problems. I'm unsure of how to put this, but such a word should be faded out from one's vocabulary. The use of such words implies a person is beaten down before attempting to rise. 'No problems mate.' means just that. A bush outlook, that only challenges exist. Problems are for those who can't hack it.
Turn one's view around, and difficulties, thistles, rocky surface, hard gradient, thick wait-a-while, all become challenges. 'No problems mate!' πŸ˜‰

A VERY good and valid viewpoint, Simon, another one I'd like to eliminate from our language is the word "try" When people try, they allow themselves the possibility of failing, and a get out of jail free card for not putting in their best efforts...as Yoda says in one of the Star Wars films..."Do or do not do...there is NO try"😊
