what's your mantra?

I was in line at the grocery store, fresh flowers in hand, when I looked down to see this. A simple statement in type. I looked closer and smiled to myself. It had jumped off the display onto the groceries I was buying. I didn't need it, but I brought it home anyway because it obviously needed to be seen by me.

The Universe and I have a deal. It shows me signs and I ask no questions.

Since that day at the checkout, this three word statement has become a mantra of mine. Life Is Weird. It's a plain and simple truth for me these days, one I am embracing fully. I surround myself with words in my daily life. They lift me up and guide me. They reflect, teach, and heal me. And right now I am craving them, so share with us your thoughts, your words... what's your mantra?

The soul should always stand a jar,
That if heaven should inquire
He should not be obliged to wait
Or shy of troubling her.
-Emily Dickinson

But especially the first part, "The soul should always stand a jar..."

When you are in a not good position and have no money to get out from that, you will have to take the <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com">loans</a>. Just because that will help you unquestionably. I take short term loan every time I need and feel myself good just because of this.

Some time ago, I needed to buy a good house for my firm but I didn't earn enough money and could not purchase anything. Thank goodness my fellow proposed to try to take the <a href="http://lowest-rate-loans.com/topics/home-loans">home loans</a> at reliable creditors. So, I acted that and used to be happy with my consolidation loan.
