Motivational Quotes Monday: Teacher Appreciation Week Should Be Every Week

Good Monday morning, friends!!! How are you doing on this lovely spring day? I’m at the library today working on a couple deadlines — and anxiously waiting for a new piece to go live!! So excited about this one!! I was also excited when I discovered that this week is Teacher Appreciation Week, so I thought that would be the perfect topic for today’s motivational quotes!!

They’re the people we never forget, even years after graduating; I still remember how my high school journalism teacher showed me that, yes, I could actually be a writer! So take some time today — and every day — to thank a teacher!! Here are five quotes in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week…

Motivational Quotes Monday: Why Rainy Days Are So Soothing

Happy Monday, friends!! I don’t know about you, but today did NOT go exactly as I’d planned. This was the scene last night: I get in bed relatively early (11:30…yayyy for me!) with visions and hopes of going to the library today. I woke up…and it was raining! Hard. We’re talking a constant downpour! That weather, coupled with this situation, and, well, let’s just say that I was in no mood to leave the house! But the rain did get me thinking about today’s motivational quotes! As the Carpenters once sang, “Rainy days and Mondays always get me down” and we’ve got both those in the Midwest, thanks to some April showers! Yet these days can be quite soothing, can’t they? They lull you into a sort of peaceful calm! Here are five quotes all about rainy days…

They’re our family and we can’t imagine our lives without them!!

So in that spirit, here are five quotes all about the power of pets in our lives…
