Quotes to Brighten Your Day
One year ago I took on a self-imposed challenge where everyday, I would send out certain “quotes to brighten your day” to a select group of people that included family and friends. I am not sure how it all started, but I know that quotes keep me inspired and have served as healthy reminders throughout my life. It feels great to send out positivity and start your day with positive thoughts each and every morning. I want to share my favorite 31 “brighten your day” quotes from the categories I chose to send out every morning, so that you can share a quote each day for the next 31 days. I sincerely hope you can find ways to utilize these inspirational quotes to brighten someone’s day, just as I have since starting this challenge.
Good morning, love you all! (quote to follow)
