This week's quote: “Ships don't sink because of the water around them. Ships sink because of the water that gets in them. Don't let what's happening around you get inside you and weigh you down.” ~ Anonymous...Have a great week!

@deafgirlhistory, you’re on a roll with the book reviews!!! Go girl!

Haha, thanks! I'm actually hoping to post more of books reviews! And I enjoy reading and posting reviews, it's pretty fun!!!! And thanks for noticing!! 😁

Awww thanks!!! Glad to hear that you really enjoyed my reviews!!! 😄

I know! I was for a while, but I don't know why I stopped.

Hey everyone! I think I forgot last week's quote because I was at camp so this week I'll share 2 quotes to make up for it! 🙃 Last week's quote: “You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.” - Warren Buffett...Now, this week's quote: “You can’t go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending” - C.S. Lewis...I hope you enjoy these! Have an amazing week!

Wow, the first one, that is a strong saying!
