Sorry to hear that you're still recovering, but on the bright side, it does mean you snag some blessed time to yourself! :)<br /><br />I'm with you on quotes, and I adore the Audrey quote you listed...I've never seen it previously! I simply could ever select an absolute favorite, although most of my most admired quotes are along the lines of yours: sunny and simple. If I were forced to share my favorite it would be this:<br /><br />Be silly. Be honest. Be kind. --Ralph Waldo Emerson<br /><br />I believe that sums me up quite well. :)<br /><br />Sending best wishes on your recovery!bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317376256234568601noreply@blogger.com
