A cavallo stanco Dio manda la mosca (God send the fly to the tired horse)

I've always had a passion for proverbs and ways of saying. They are so wise and true and in two words they explain a whole concept. So, in some very crucial moments, some proverbs occur to my mind; when I've too many words or too many thoughts they just comes out simply and effectivly and they make me smile, because they are definetly the best explanation, even if I know that to somebody I would look like my grandmother or my old aunt Nini. They were very wise persons I've to tell you.

So the proverb of today it's one of my favorites and it says: A cavallo stanco Dio manda la mosca, that means: God send the fly to the tired horse. Translated in english does not have the same impact, but anyway it basically says that when you are already tired, when you have already a problem, as it was not enough, God send you also a fly (so another really annoying thing). And it's true, there are these periods when one thing start going wrong and all the others seem crashing and the whole scenario get worse.

Last night I felt definetly like the tired horse, adding another concern, another tear to an already troubled period. And while I could not sleep, while I was thinking that everything was wrong, while I was trying to limitate the damage to my face and avoid to wake up with the same eyes as a frog, while I was looking for a way to get out, my friend proverb appeared so clear in my mind and somehow so funny that made me smile. A cavallo stanco Dio manda la mosca, it's so true.
