"Don't React"...have loved this one since I first heard it....stopped me from jumping from the frying pan into the fire. And right in the shadow of that one is "When in Doubt Don't" (make a rash choice that is...pray, take your time, pray again. Absolutely Nothing is the way I think it is. ((((hugs)))) smile

Not exactly the same situation but close enough. My AH that I am recently separated from lost his job due to his alcoholism a couple of weeks ago. We lost our insurance and benefits package and he is now proceeding to dig into his IRA. I'm taking comfort in Kelly Clarkson's song, "What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger". Hang in there! We can do this!!

My personal favorites: "Say what you mean, mean what you say, just don't say it mean."

Or "Let Go and Let God." "Fake it until you Make it." "Nothing changes if Nothing changes."

Hoot Nanny · ~*Service Worker*~

God won't let you go through anything that he can't pull you through.

I am not sure if I said the right quote. I tried...

Don't ever give up!

Sing like you don't need the money, love like you'll never get hurt, dance like nobody's watching!

It will come from the heart if you want it to work.
