My stock ones are 1 & 2, but the other two make me smile so included them too, have always been:
-
'Absolute love, absolute boundaries' - for when DC's (ESP the teen bit) being vile, driving me nuts, making me wish never bloody had them, &/or when facing really serious vile shit 'challenging'
-
'This too shall pass' - for when positively frickin suicidal a tad overwhelmed
- My newest one (from MN yest ) 'Perspective is ALL'
- The one I tried (for, ooohh, a day or so until the next VERY eewweeyy day) but learnt to ignore a looooonnnnggggg time ago - on basis of the VERY handy mantra Needs Must - but if you say it's only me I will SOOOO know you're lying... was the Sunday Times Columnist's fess-up one re craving which she was succumbing to at about 5pm as her sanity saviour (ESP when at home with L'IL DC's all day) but to which she then created mantra of "No wine before 6 o'clock mummy" to resolve...(no, me too betting she off-loaded that mantra herself within a few weeks of writing it )
Would LOVE to know yours??!!
