Good advice

I know that we're all having a hard time. We're all grieving, we're all obsessing, we're all struggling to pick up the pieces of our lives and move on. And in the process, we have all received (and occasionally given) some wonderful pieces of good advice. Things that we all need to hear. I'd like to share my personal favorite and I encourage the rest of you to chime in and do the same. Sometimes all you need is one saying, thought, or concept to cling to in the dark hours and that helps see you through. Here's my favorite piece of advice (it's from my daddy).

"When you lose, have two drinks, take a shower, and move on."

This helps, and can be repeated as necessary ;)

Gosh, there are so many! Here's one that I mulled over the last few months of my doomed relationship:

Don't let go too soon
Don't hang on too long
