Someone Once Told Me....

Every situation has a phrase.

A phrase that I think about that helps put things in perspective.

Maybe it was something I learned from my mother when I was growing up.

Maybe it was something I was told by someone else.

Maybe it's something I read somewhere.

Regardless, these quotes, motto's, sayings, phrases....... they always seem to help me out when I'm  presented with different situations.
