I fallen behind in my posting and can't get up. I figured I should make an effort with this one, since I'm married to a Maritimer, who has more expressions- er, catch phrases- than anyone on the planet!! anyway, what is mine? what is mine? hmmmm... ok. One idea: I tend to worry sometimes and can't shut it off, so I like Julius Caesar's "a coward dies a hundred times before his death." (or something like that!) It sums up the futility of being frozen in a state of worry (Hate that!) It's like you are making your fears happen over and over in your mind, giving your fear power over your whole life- nothing productive can come of that. It's also about living in the present and making the most you can of the day you were given. (Love that!) Who knows what the future holds? no one. Live fully today. If you need more, my Maritimer has a gazillion...some need a translator of some kind. ;) Is there still time to enter this?! I fallen behind in my posting and can’t get up.

I like, "Never give up!" and "Move it to lose it!" and "Carpe Nocturnum" (Sieze the night - if I spelled it correctly - because my kids are all in bed and I finally have time to get things done) and "Everything is doable." My favorite would be "Dream big. Live even bigger!" :) Hmm…My most often said to myself is Nike’s “Just do it!” but they’d be upset if that was put on a shirt other than one of theirs.

I know I am late with this but my personal phrase is:

“It is never to late to be what you might have been.”

and goes side by side with:

“What have you done today to make you feel proud.”

“It’s all good.”

“You snooze, you lose.”

“Life’s short.”

When I think I can't finish that last half mile....I hear those words. When I think I can't reesist those doughnuts in the breakroom, I tell myself Can't never could.... If I say I can't then I set myself up to fail....and I am not going to go that.

I say it to myself when I don't WANT to go to the gym, when I don't WANT to do homework, when I don't WANT to practice harp. I just do it anyway. And (most of the time) I'm glad I did it! “Do It Anyway.”

It struck me how much I would love to live that characteristic. So, at the grocery store when the line is long, when my kids ask the same question multiple times in a row, when I don't accomplish everything on my to-do list, or whenever I might otherwise get easily irritated I strive to -- Be Gentle! Be Gentle
