Very nice quotes! I like this one: “Always find a reason to laugh. It may not add years to your life but will surely add life to your years.”. Modern life is very busy and we take it too serious. We often have no time for simple and funny things that can make us happy.
Thanks for sharing, and I couldn’t agree more. Happy New Year!
