Quotes for the moment:
We must be vigilant, even of each other, but mostly of ourselves. What my time in the cave taught me is that the ultimate life-and-death struggle is with ourself. Foreign invaders might kill my body, but only I could kill my spirit. Viet Thanh Nguyen
We don’t develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity. Barbara De Angelis
I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions. Stephen Covey
It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. Aristotle, Greek philosopher, 4th century BCE
As always, feel free to forward this to anyone who may appreciate it. Today, and always, I send blessings of love and laughter to all!! May you all stay safe and healthy and well!
Mahalo,
Annette 🙂
