Mottoes for life or rules of thumb.

soop Love your quote.

Sensible idea!

Every so often, have a bed and book day.

Going off at a tangent, but need to share.

A quote from Irish writer - John McGahern

'The best of life is life lived quietly where nothing happens but our calm journey thru' the day, where change is imperceptible and the precious life is everything'.

An opportunity is never lost - somebody else will take it.

The only thing you hear from pigs are grunts. (I don't know why I love that, but I do.)

Make the most of today, life is not a rehearsal

Better a creative mess than an idle tidiness.

And my late husbands

Galen that was always one of my mother's favourites

Used this before.

A lie is half way around the world before the truth has got it's boots on.

Put yourself on a pedestal and eventually it's you who will knock yourself off.

A narcissist only has one true friend, themself.

Don't get mad - get even

Do unto others as they would do unto you - only do it first

my favourite - Don't sweat the small stuff!

Nil illegitumus carborundum!

Feel the fear and do it anyway

Living well is the best revenge

We may not all be stars but we can all twinkle

I may not be perfect but I try and I'm good enough.

If a things worth doing it is worth doing badly. A great consolation for ham-fisted clumsies like me.

My motto for today.... if at first you dont succeed, give up and try tomorrow.

And sometimes if in doubt do nothing,problems tend to sort themselves out.

You do have a point there, Bags. As I've got older, I've come to realise that lots of things can wait to be worried about or sorted. Often, things (or people) seem to sort themselves out and action doesn't have to be taken after all.
