Quote for the day: "Being defeated is often a temporary condition. Giving up is what makes it permanent." (Marilyn vos Savant). Hope everyone has had a good weekend. xx

#TimeOutTuesday Pause for a moment and tune into your surroundings. Look out of the window or close your eyes and focus on the sounds around you - just find a way to take a minute or two to just be in the moment.

You can't control what happens to you, but you can control the way that you handle it. What do you want your story to say? #WednesdayWisdom
