Hi there all you wonderful Wellness Warriors I am reading an awesome book “ Discovering Joye ” by Jim Stovall This impacted me most, so I wanted to share with you: “ Some people’s lives will last a century while others but a few decades, and some people’s time on this earth will only be counted in terms of a few years. But in the final analysis, we all have today .” There is so much wisdom in the( large print) book. It is really worth reading. There is so much time lost to us due to non-planning of our time.
