A little encouragement to start your day :)

If you know me, you know that I am the type of person that doesn't think the glass is half full, or that the glass is half empty...but the glass is too big for the amount of liquid. That being said, when problems happen, and problems will happen I try to be an encourager. An encourager with a little bit of a reality check to the encouragement. Here are some of my favourite encouragement quotes that I have gathered and wanted to share with you. :)
