• Finding joy in the little things becomes easier the more you focus on one day at a time!
• We all need to remember that we have NO idea what others are going through unless we’ve walked in their shoes, and even then, everyone’s experience is unique.
• Hope is as necessary as air and water. 
• A pedicure or some new shoes really CAN make me happy! (At least for a little while!)
• Being away from your family for too long sucks. Hug them A LOT if they live close.❤️
• Good coffee and good toilet paper are worth paying a higher price!
• All elected officials should be required to spend a month at the world’s largest cancer hospital.  I’m pretty sure health care would be figured out or at the very least, they would be working TOGETHER to get it right.
• Life is way too short for pettiness.
• There are many kind and caring people in the world, and they come in all shapes, sizes, colors, levels of education, religious views, income levels, and sexual orientation. 
• Nothing much tastes better than a home-grown tomato sandwich.🍅
• A day spent with my toes in the sand looking out at the ocean would fix a lot.🏖
• Music is good for the soul. 
• Cancer and all its treatment side effects are awful and need to just go away.  There’s plenty of other sadness in the world.🎗
• There is nothing as draining as being at a medical facility for an entire day (or many days or many days & nights).
• A decent glass of wine can make a day better. 🍷
• Pets are a pain sometimes (think hair everywhere and vet bills), but they are COMPLETELY worth it for their comfort, love, and entertainment.🐶
• Essential oils work. 
• Sheet-caking seems like a really good idea! 🎂
• Being kind is easy and makes you feel better. 
• Watching someone you love suffer sucks. 
• Knowing someone you love is suffering, and you can’t help sucks. 
• Eating real food, exercising, and de-stressing is good for you and will improve your health dramatically. 
• Gardening is a great hobby but not when the heat index is over 100. 🌱🌸
• We need to stop with all the toxins in our products, food, water, etc. We are hurting ourselves and our children much more than we realize. 
• Don’t ever give up!!! 
• The more prayers the better. 🙏
• Dreams change with life, but you have to keep dreaming. 
• Road rage is stupid!!!😡
• Sports players and celebrities make way too much money. 
• Teachers and nurses don’t make enough money. 
• Being a caregiver is a hard job!
• I have more friends than I realized. 😊
• Real books are still the best, and libraries are one of my favorite places. 📚

Be kind and find joy y’all! 💕
