It has been a rather annoying day with my desktop computer as well as my laptop giving me some grief. I lost some writing work when I was on the verge of completing it and had a tough time staying cool. Then I decided to just leave it and do something else.
I settled down to look through some old notebooks and soon, I was smiling at the number of inspiring quotes I’ve collected. You’ll even find a quote or two on my kitchen shelf. Yep.
May I share some with you? Great to read them when you’re a bit low and need that adrenalin rush to tell you “Yes, you are doing okay! This is only a minor setback”
