Do You Have a Motto You Live by?

I live by the lessons I have learned from my past.  However, there is ONE Motto that usually pops in my mind many times a day It is: "Silence Can Never Be Misquoted." 

That quote has been useful to me. It gives me a chance to STOP from putting my foot in my mouth.

What about YOU? What is YOUR Motto?

    Over the years it has become a LOT easier for me to WALK AWAY rather than put up with certain people or their bad behavior. 

    There are those who I will not walk away from, but they aren't the ones I want to escape from. LOL

    You just have a big old heart Peas! You and Lulu balance me out! Haha

    A big heart is not always a good thing.  But yes, you, Remy, and Lulu have guided me more than you know.  I never doubt I chose my friends well.

    It also can mean agreement. In the past I too have tried staying silent to avoid saying the wrong things however I met plenty of people and they all don't know me like a best friend does. Silence can be more harmful than words.

    Awe THANK you Peas! I think one of the major reasons we all are friends is because we can confront the others without fear of being taken the wrong way.

    All you Ladies, along with sooo may others have kept me level headed at times I just wanted to explode. I appreciate all of your honesty with me. I know if I'm not behaving you all will tell me to chill out and not personally attack me.

    Love you ALL for that!

    True.  People who know me, know how I am and how I think.  Strangers are not sure, so many times they think I'm very shy or underestimate my words or lack of words.

    All my adult children need to do is look in my eyes and no words are necessary: but they know me well.

    Attitude is Everything.

    I doubt we ever needed to tell you to chill out.  If anything, you have the patience of Job with us and we are very lucky to have you.  What I love about our little group is how each one of us can bring a different take on things to the table, but we all share the same core values.  

    I am very glad we all ended up on the outs with people that really did much to bring us together, stronger than ever.

    Say what you mean and mean what you say.

    Also, always know where the exits are.

    Our friendship goes way back! lol  I think Shine was the power behind our friendship.

    Kind of hard to be MAD at anybody on the internet, when you are wiping tears from your face from laughing so hard.

    I can see us on this site for as long as it exists.  I've met some really nice people on here.
