Life

ok, I've lost my boot straps. I know they are here somewhere but right now I can't find them....so I can't pull myself up with them. I'm really not sure what boot straps are in the first place so I'm not sure what I'm suppose to be looking for to tell you the truth. You'd figure that by the time I turned 53 that I'd know what they were and where to find them when I needed them...but alas, I must admit that I really don't have that information.

I decided to go to the internet...it has everything you need to know about anything, right? Right!

Pulling yourself up by your bootstraps...

"Meaning:
Improve your situation by your own efforts.

The origin of this descriptive phrase isn't known. It refers of course to boots and their straps (laces) and to the imagined feat of a lifting oneself off the ground by pulling on one's bootstraps. This impossible task is supposed to exemplify the achievement in getting out of a difficult situation by one's own efforts."

So now I know what bootstraps are and what it means....


Now I just need to do it.
