I have always been a big fan of quips, quotes, words of wisdom, metaphors, similes or whatever you prefer to call them. You have probably seen these placed on plaques, bulletin boards or any other visible place for one to view with regularity. For the most part, these sayings serve as motivation, humor, spiritual insight or guidance for our daily lives. I want to share some of my favorites in hopes that you will find at least some of them to be useful or entertaining!

In today’s fast-paced life, most of us are guilty of dwelling too much on the little things or being concerned about situations that are totally out of our control. In these cases, I always try to recite my favorite one-liner of all: “Don’t worry about the mule goin’ blind, just load the wagon!”
In other words, let’s do what we’re supposed to do and not worry about what could go wrong somewhere else.
…till next time.
