I meant,
You need hope, to cope.

My latest saying:
"You have to start somewhere."
I like the pragmatism, the inclination toward action, and the anti-perfectionist humility implied by this saying.
Also, lately I have been asking myself: WWEAD?
Yes, you guessed it -- What would Eve Arden do?
For those of you who remember her, Eve Arden was an actress of the 40's-60's who often played the wise-cracking second banana. (She was Joan Crawford's pragmatic shoulder to cry on in the classic "Mildred Pierce".) For some reason, lately, I have been thinking of Eve Arden - her self-deprecating humor, her moxie, her big-hearted brand of cynicism. I don't usually model my life after dead second string actresses, but at this moment, I'm finding the WWEAD question very useful during moments of stress.

But, this is why they are archetypes! LOL!!!
For some reason, the way you "said" this made me laugh. Thank you!
A man of God who has been guiding me through a very difficult family matter has told me "all in God's time." I have been using this as my source of strength for the past few months. He has been helping me with acceptance of a situation beyond my control and I absolutely love this statement.
Cheers to all for a great day and thanks to everyone for sharing their favorite sayings! _________________
