Cheri, I love quotes and I love these. They are so true and it does take a lot of courage to keep going when it seems everybody else doubts you.

Thanks so much!

My favorite is the very last one. I love these quotes, I have a few of these written on my old sneakers. (I figured, most people who are upset look down and if they could see it, it might cheer them up)

Phoebe Pike: Thank you for stopping by and what a great idea of putting a quote on your sneakers. For the most part I am a positive person and I am always encouraging others to stay focused and look at the positive side of their turmoil. "Tough times don't last but Tough people do"
