After 9 months, and 10 pages of posts containing close to 1000 quotes, I'll be stepping back from this.

I depart for Thailand in 7 days and am getting busy preparing. I won't say that I won't post in this thread further, but it will be less often, as I expect to be busy and, to be honest, I'm not seeing many new uplifting quotes to add anymore.

But if you see one, please feel free to add it! We all need to maintain a positive outlook on life.

Much love to everyone,

Cara
