Sometimes we lose sight of what is important in life. I know, I do it all the time! Recently, I’ve been so consumed by work worries that I’d stopped paying attention to what’s around me.
So, over the last couple of days, I’ve collected together 41 inspirational quotes to remind you life is beautiful.
Even in the darkest of times, there is always something to remind you life is beautiful.
When my Dad was in hospital last year, I wrote down 3 good things every day. I always found 3 good things, even on the day he passed away. (A kind word from a nurse, a message from an old friend, a walk down by the river he loved).
So, save this page for later, pin the images, tweet the quotes and share with a friend who needs some comfort 🙂
