Good Morning.
I didn't write this, but I believe it bears much thought from all.
"I expect to pass through this world but once, any good, therefore, that I can do, or any kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now, let me not defer it, nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again" ~ Ettiene De Grellet
Ladies, daughters, mothers, and others; please truly THINK about each one before moving on to the next one.
