It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out,
but the grain in your shoe.
~ Muhammad Ali? Robert W. Service? Anonymous?….?

The source of this quote is not known, but as Shakespeare said, ‘What’s in a name?’ Let’s respect whoever wrote it and concentrate on the essence of the quote.

A little pulse check here: how did the month of May treat you? Did it wear you out by presenting a mountain or a grain in your shoe?

Anything May have happened right? But what’s important is, did you keep going?

Ok, some fun facts now —

Do you know why this month is called May?

It is because it May rain, it May snow, it May be 70 degrees, or it Maybe 20 degrees.

Anything May happen in May. 😀

Well now, since we are leaving May behind us, anything May not happen unless we let it happen. We now have the controls. So let’s gear up and get our shoes on..

May prompt

First off, let’s applaud the poets who responded to our Let’s Get Real prompt.
