[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 646274, member: 17720"] My husband has this matter-of-fact way of saying, when I am spinning out of control about something, "It is what it is." My first reaction was, "Well, DUH, Captain Obvious!" But I think there are a few deep truths buried in there. It reminds me to accept the situation for what it is and start dealing with it, instead of wishing it otherwise. It also reminds me that it is what it IS, not what it WAS, nor what it WILL BE FOREVER. And it reminds me to think about what it is, factually speaking, not what I am projecting and imagining it to be. He probably just said it to stop me from spinning out of orbit like I sometimes do. HA! But it helps. [/QUOTE]
