How many times does it take you to do something before you get it correct? For some people it only takes just one try, while for others we keep doing it over and over again for perfection. The expression, "third time's the charm" means that if something doesn't work the first two times you try it, it should work the third time. It's related to, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try, again."Today, I've made three cards based on my "happy" feelings from yesterday (Wednesday). First, I was happy for so many blessings that came my way. Second, I din't think I was happy enough with just the feeling so I had to add some music to make it flow. Third, the music seemed to not be enough unless I could kick up my heels to do a little dancing. Yes, "third time's the charm"!
