Thank you, MLD.
You're welcome.
It's my mantra when things get rough.
I may not be able to make certain things go away, because they are out of my control, but I can try to remember that almost without exception, nothing is bad forever. And if something truly is bad forever (very rare), I can choose how to deal with that.
