This year my friend, Jo Rae, brought sparkling grape juice for toasts, and a gift to last forever. The gift, a lovely lilac designed notebook, was filled with quotes from various sources, Jo said that she hoped I would read and use the quotes in my writings and for encouragement.
So here goes. I will use the quotes and suggest that you find the author. Before the quotes, there will be a list of authors from which to choose (this is difficult) … but try your best.
