Five Quotes
Generally I just go through my journals and think about what's going on at the time. There's never really an agenda, thematically, and I'd be lying if I said I had a hard goal.

Kids Quotes

Happy Life Quotes
There is temptation to place too much importance on those things that you're meant to do, and not on to little everyday happinesses.

I want to make sure that I enjoy tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day. And we'll see what happens.
