thrive

Postby Eileen Opiolka » Sat Sep 11, 2021 4:09 am

Rising early this morning, I remembered the rhyme
"He that would thrive must rise at five.
He that hath thriven may lie till seven."

Best wishes,
Eileen

As expected, related to thrift, a good way to thrive, financially at least.

Interestingly, though 5 of the 6 letters overlap, and in the same position and order, NOT related to shrive. I expect that helps demonstrate the importance of consonants over vowels.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
