One of my favourites, from my husband.
"Your mistake does not constitute my emergency"
This is a great one when needing some detachment.

Actually, IC, your version sounds a lot more like what husband actually says. Makes sense, as he has a military background. I think I've "interpreted" it over the years.

Yeah, dad never got that into it. It was always "Hay is for horses, Grass is cheaper". His other favorite was "No S*&^ Sherlock!"
One I made up for myself years ago:
"If that which doesn't kill us makes us stronger, I ought to be Superwoman by now."
I also like:
"Progress, not perfection." (from AA I think) I've used this almost as a mantra over the years when it comes to my difficult children.
Oh, and my most recent favorite, given my ever-expanding taste for craft beer:
"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." ~Benjamin Franklin.

Yes. And some things should just be done in private so you don't need to make sure no one is looking. Like wrapping presents... yeah we'll go with that one.

From a FB friend, " When people walk away from you... Let them go. Your destiny is never tied to anyone, and it doesn't mean they are bad people. It just means that their part in your story is over."
Which reminds me of what I call the 'butterfly' saying. "If you love something, let it go, and if it comes back to you, love it and cherish it forever."
And of course the infamous;
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you figure out which one it is,
you will know what to do for each person.(Which is actually the first part of a very inspiring poem. here's a link to the rest of it. Are you a Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime? « Life Lessons)
