"If wishes were horses, beggars would ride"

I have always been hearing this proverb from different places but i haven't really sat down to find out the meaning of this particular phrase not until some days ago when i heard it again from a friend, then i decided to look up the meaning on net and from my quick search, i got a very detailed answer and i also found a lot of sense in what was written and i couldn't agree less...

The answer i got really improved my determination to achieve some future dreams of mine, from what i understood in the statement above, it means one should not merely wish for things but rather complement those wishes with hard work and determination to make those wishes a reality in the near future, this statement has really made me understand some things better...

Moving on, it is indeed a fact that in the journey of life, each and every one of us has a dream/wish of moving to another country to live in and i won't lie it is the same for me as well and to be honest with you all, this dream of mine has been a dream from more than two decades now but i believe time will tell if this dream of mine will be just a dream forever or if it will come to reality...

Over the years, i have seen, read and heard of several beautiful and wonderful countries out there, at first i fell in love with Northern California which is located in the U.S thinking that was the only country with beautiful scenery and exploration of nature gifts...

Along the way, I found out there are other countries that are also blessed with beautiful nature views and sceneries, and as time goes on i fell in love with ITALY AND THE NETHERLANDS, my love shifted to these two beautiful countries and thanks to a hive friend @momogrow, i got to see and experience how these places look like in form of her detailed write up along with several beautiful pictures of different places in these countries...

I have weighed and tested my love for these two countries and after coming to a conclusion, I have decided to choose THE NETHERLANDS over Italy as a country i want to live in...

I have seen some beautiful places in the Netherlands thanks to @momogrow and whenever i read her write-up, i can't help but feel like i am actually there in that same location seeing and enjoying everything about the Netherlands...

What made me fall in love with the Netherlands the most was because of the last post of hers i read about the beautiful KEUKENHOF GARDEN situated in Amsterdam in the town of Lisse, in this post of hers, I got to see different beautiful and interesting flower gardens and sculptures and as a lover of beautiful sceneries i couldn't love what i was reading and seeing any less...

I could feel and relate to every bit of emotion that was shared in this post of hers, I haven't been to the Netherlands before but whenever i read any nature post of @momogrow, I feel like i am there with her in the Netherlands because everything about her post has this magic that makes one thinks he or she is truly experiencing it...

I have never felt dull or bored whenever i am reading any write-up of hers that has to do with exploring the whole of Amsterdam in the Netherlands and for this reason, my love for the Netherlands has increased ten thousand folds...

In summary, I believe there is nothing impossible in as much as one is willing to work hard in life and also willing to make some worthy sacrifices for the greater good, I know and believe one day fortune will smile on me and my dream of dwelling in the Netherlands will be achieved and then i will smile to today when i was making this post and say good job FOX...

In conclusion, I am really happy I got to tour some beautiful places in Amsterdam the Netherlands thanks to Momo and most especially the Keukenhof garden, it was nice knowing, seeing, and reading about such a place in my dream country and city...
