The Gray Panthers/unions/gangs topic is still swirling in my head. We have a few more weeks of winter to endure and I can't remember the other name for cabin fever that I heard. We need a new name for the combination of cabin fever and pandemic syndrome.
Dang. I lost my train of thoughts. I might have mentioned The Daily Stoic. It is an email that will pop up daily with a suggestion for how to be more stoic (if you sign up). Most of the suggestions are pretty good. Today they had 3 paragraphs that could be summed up as "one day at a time." Maybe I can distill each daily post into a single phrase and end up with super easy reminders to pull out as needed.
One of my favorite parts of teaching was when a student would toss out a phrase that put whatever I was saying into a tidy little nutshell.
I will always remember what's-er-name who said:
All things in moderation.
One day at a time.
This too shall pass.
Does that cover everything?
I bet all y'all have some good ones.
I can picture printing them on the front of my shirt - upsidedown
so that I can refer to them as needed.
I think we need to mention yin-yang.
Not sure it fits into a phrase.
I've seen some minor variation on 'All things in moderation' attributed to one of the Ancient Greeks. He probably saw it on a wall somewhere.
