“Good things aren’t supposed to just fall into your lap. God is very generous, but He expects you to do your part first.”I've always loved reading quotes by Audrey Hepburn. I love the fact that she was so successful and admired and still kept a realistic and positive outlook on life.

This morning when I got up, it was Monday, but when I went to bed last night, it was Friday......how can that be???😮Ever feel like that? A week feels like a day and a month feels like a week??
