Quotable quotes:
“Sometimes in your life you don’t get to make all of the choices you want to make. You have some control over how your life is going…it something like a cancer diagnosis to help me understand that I really needed support and that I was thankful for the friends and family that really stepped up.”
“…you have to let yourself off the hook. There are going to be days that are hard emotionally and physically, and to be OK with that. You have to let those days happened because it’s inevitable.
