What’s your funny favorite saying for tough times?

Posted by methel @methel, Jul 11, 2025

When things are tough, I try to laugh a little to boost my spirits. These are my favorite spirit-booster sayings, which I repeat as necessary:
“When the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.”

And “When you are going through he**, keep going.”

These might work with some “low” moments.

Texas Ranch English:

1) Gotta take my lickin’ and keep on to kickin’
2) Gotta take the tail with the hide”
Others
3) Play Gloria Gaynor’s “I will Survive” for heartbreak.
4) Play Neil Diamond and Waylon singing “One Good Love.”
5) The Judds “Why Not Me”
Spotify has these

@diverdown1 thank you- I really needed that laugh! I’m actually doing pretty well, but was starting to let myself get sucked down by the chaos around me.
