P.S. As your BFF I like to keep it real….
… by sharing cheesy quotes on happiness & gratitude….
… which teach a mindset that transformed my life for the better…
… stoicism. So here’s your cheesy quote:
"Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions." – Dalai Lama
And to put a cherry on top, I ask you to choose, my dear BFF:
I promise to be positive this week. Make a positive life choice and spread it to everyone in your vicinity. |
