"Coincidence" means you weren't paying attention to the other half of what was going on.

In one’s life a little jerk does fall.

“If you are explaining, you are losing.”

And as regards my children when they cry “no fair!” I tell them: “A fair has cotton candy and rides. I don’t see either of those here so get over it.”

Confucius say: “Woman who think way to man’s heart through his stomach, have sights set too high.”

It has developed over the years, with my kids learning it from an early age. “How come he gets to and we can't?”

He's a boy. And he's older.”

They are my rules to live by.

1) Life isn't fair.

2) Nothing is easy.

3) It's always something.

4) God is sovereign.

It has developed over time. I once had a boss comment on how calm I was amidst the chaos. Looking back - I probably already had this formulation in my head. My kids know it by heart now too.

Along with the corollary “Adapt, improvise, and overcome” I think that is in a different order that what others say - but it makes sense to me.

Say what you mean, mean what you say, and tell it like it is!

My 19 year-old daughter has that written on her bulletin board! (Or something very similar).

[SouthParkRepublican]

Lol. Awesome.

[Chickensoup]

It is what it is.

Life is hard, once you realize that, it becomes easy.

“You don’t get something for nothing
You don’t get freedom for free
You won’t get wise
With the sleep still in your eyes
No matter what your dreams might be.”

by RUSH (2112 album)

Yes - they are the music of my life. (Well, I ignore Neil’s anti-God lyrics and look at them my own way!)

What I always say on Facebook political posts:

I don’t care who you vote for as much as I care about who you listen to.

See my #65. Life IS hard. But - it makes us stronger, and enables us to help others better.

At least that’s what I keep telling myself!

[Sgt_Schultze]

Here's to it, from it, and to it again.
You'd better do it when you get to it.
Because if you don't do it when you get to it,
You may never get to it to do it again.

[21twelve]

Heh - are you posting this for the “Women’s day off?” The lioness’ do all the hunting I’m told. I’m guessing the King of the Jungle isn’t going to stand for that.

Hey - maybe this can be the next environmental movement. Protests to get the male lions off their butts and do the hunting? (And like every other Liberal idea, it would end up with starving lions and the government providing meat for them every day.)

The bigger deal you make of something, the bigger deal it is ....

[dblshot]

It’s all good.

It’s a battle between these lyrics:

There is always sunshine
Far above the gray sky
I know that I will find it
Yes, I will try

And this from Gladiator:

I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next
