Most days I wake up feeling positive about starting my day and excited for what the day will bring. BUT… every now and again, and especially in the cold winter months here in Virginia, I need a quotational pick me up. I have put together a list of uplifting quotes for you my friends to just kick start that positive thinking and feeling and hopefully brighten your day. I am definitely a word person so reading what others say on life, motivation, and positive thinking definitely make me think about things in a different light.
A quote a day keeps the negative away! haha! It definitely helps that’s for sure. What are some of your favorite quotes? I would love to hear them! Have a beautiful day, friends!
