Today's Prompt: Fact**
I enjoy reading quotes. They are little bits of wisdom, inspiration, or humor tucked in a sentence or two. They can make you smile and inspire you to move forward.
I have always wanted to say or write something that was so profound, enlightening, or just plain silly that it was quote-worthy. So I may slip one of my own in the mix.
The quotes I'm sharing today are some of my favorites and some new ones as well.

Love the quotes, Jodee! Some I’ve never heard before, so I will be saving them. Here is one I’ve always liked: “Life is an endless struggle full of frustrations and challenges, but eventually you find a hairstylist that understands you.” (Anonymous)
I like humor, too. :)
