Fully Welcome

Posted in Quotes by badger Fully welcome this day with open arms, with a grateful heart, and you will find it to be a good and productive day. Welcome the challenges as being a necessary part of life, and they will strengthen rather than stop you. Welcome the opinions and perspectives of others, especially when they differ from yours.
