this quote is from the calendar I have by my desk, it is one sent to me by my sweet friend Kate. She had it on her desk last year and I am enjoying it now. - It means so much to me to know that my kindness and love of others and helping them to move forward is key to happiness in my life, sometimes we get so bogged down with the dark and dreary everyday items that it is hard to see the good. Thanks Kate for shining light into my life, everyday this little quote calendar makes me think of you.
