Some mantras that got me through the year:
"Don't lick your wounds. Celebrate them." -Grey's Anatomy
"Never have I met a ditch digger who said, "I'm just not feeling the ditch today, the ditch muse is not with me, I have to put my shovel down now." -mystery writer Craig Johnson, who subscribes to what he calls 'the blue collar school of writing'. Even though I did have a lot of times I had to put my shovel down, this amuses the hell out of me.
"So many wonderful opportunities for patience!" -Matt F., co-worker... a refreshing way to look at stress.
"Pain for a purpose" (me, to remind myself what the surgery was about. Pain that is headed towards improvement is easier to handle than just pain.)
A mantra for the next while:
“How many of the things you want are you not pursuing due to fear?”
