Quotable Thursdays

Last year, I went through one of the toughest battles of my life so far – leaving my now ex-husband and rebuilding my life.  There were a lot of rough days, but I got through it with the love and support of my friends and family,  as well as my own determined optimism and…random picture quotes on the internet.  I know it sounds silly, but it’s true.  Even as a writer and avid reader, I was surprised at how much a simple quote could lift me up and serve as a mantra to get me through a very hard time.

For today’s Quotable Thursday, I give you quote from the lovely Maya Angelou (from the poem, “Still I Rise“).

I don’t know about you, but that inspires and empowers me.  🙂
I hope you’re having a good day and if you’re not, know that better days are coming.
