My quote would be “You create your own misery”
Life is not what it’s supposed to be. It is what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference. by Virginia Satir
I have this posted so I can see it daily. It is a good reminder to pay attention to my own attitude regarding daily issues.
Patience and persistence pays off.

My dad used to remind us kids, “If, if, IF! And if a bullfrog had wings, he wouldn’t bump his butt on the ground.” Don’t know where he got it, probably the southern Appalachians where he grew up. Apply it as necessary. 🙂

The Lemon sign was displayed on my birthday. Great saying and very truth. Always think of another way to make an idea that does not work out the first time. I’m a cut and paste person on the table or on the computer. Looking for new twists and angles is fun and keeps our brains working. Thank you, MaryJane. ;0)

My Gramma used to tell me this when I’d cry after messing something up. “It’s ok
to make mistakes; that’s why pencils have erasers”. Have passed this on to my children and grandchildren. I’m now 71 yrs “young”. I have gone through a lot
of pencils!
The hurrier I go the behinder I get
I think I have always liked the quote ” when life hands you lemons make lemonade” because my life is full of lemons and I love lemonade

My late Husband’s favorite saying has become mine also;

Or, you;ll fall for anything.
