The truth shall set you free

😂 good one!

Great thread. So much to think about and apply to your life. 😊

As a cooker of rice, I have learned the hard way 😄

This one is very poignant today 😬

There's no pockets on a shroud.

Don’t explain away the red flags.

They’re always right.

Worry is like a rocking horse. It wobbles you around but never gets you anywhere.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results

(Me to me after tucking into the maltesers when i'm meant to be on my millionth diet)

I’m so sorry and it’s very true - x

A good one!

Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting someone else to die

It's very nice to be important, it's more important to be nice.

Manners cost nothing.

Oh @Bangersndmash I am sorry 😞❤️

I hope with everything that the chemo works well and you will get yourself back

Its easy to say 'its just hair' but it really isnt in every case. But your soul wont be touched by this chemo, only made stronger ❤️

‘Work as little as possible, enough to be able to live and enjoy the sun. Live life in capital letters, do not live in lowercase.’ Abel Paz. Spanish fighter against fascism in the 1930s. (Paraphrasing, but it’s roughly that.)

Do not think you can change a man. You can’t. You’re not buying a fixer-upper - that’s the finished product.

This resonates! 🤣

Yes! This reminds me of "Women are not rehabilitation centres for badly behaved men".

It really makes you think. So often people would think marriage and children would 'change' a difficult man and lo and behold, they rarely do.

(I have seen variations of this phrase on social media but this is the wording I remember)

Desiderata..various parts of it have got me through a lot especially
"Avoid those vexatious to the spirit"

Never underestimate what your DC might get up to.

The longer you stay on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get back home

Don’t die wondering.

Letting other people have the last word if it means so much to them rather than getting drawn in to something you can't win.

Guidance many MNetters could usefully take heed of!

When you are resting because you need to, you are not lazy, you are doing exactly what your body needs.

And similarly:
Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time.

Don’t wrestle with a pig because whilst the pig enjoys it, you both get covered in shit.
