I just thought it'd be fun/inspirational to share the quotes/sayings that come into our minds when the CFS times get crazy.

Funny, Profound, Wacked-out, Poetic, Simple...All are valued here!

Thanks!!!

"Death by check-out." By weebs. I didn't fully grasp it til I thought it over. Figures. By the time I'm at the check-out, I'm dead. Even after a quick zip to the market. And if someone says something at the check-out that I have to understand, and respond to, forget it. It's death by check-out. When I'm told the final price, I put my debit or credit through the swipe. That's all I can manage. There isn't one time I leave a store and remember how much I just spent. Multi-task? Ha! Multi-remember ... no way. I can't remember one thing. Let alone two. LOL

"One day at a time" is still my favorite. Also, "Rome wasn't built in a day"...when I push myself and am hard on myself. And, "It could be worse." THAT IS ALWAYS TRUE. I could be homeless and with no family or loved ones and sick.

There are people here who are just like that, Holly. Homeless and with no friends or loved ones to help. They feel like bloody hell.

I am FORTUNATE and BLESSED not to be one of them. But it's a slippery slope, know what I mean?

Here's one: "There but for the grace of God go I." My mom says that *all* the time (yeah, I know ... we don't like her.) But I keep watching us slip one after another ... totally scary.

The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt

I think this is as appropriate today as it was the day he said it. I have also heard quotes like Have your fear and do it anyway and Embrace your fear.
