So true! We can keep it so simple by learning to please our Creator first, then everything else will fall into place. Hope you have a wonderful day~

Pretty lettering as well

Beautiful lettering. But the quote should read “to try to please everyone.” As it reads right now you are saying that trying and pleasing everyone is sure to lead to misery. However, I am sure everyone knows what you really mean.

  I need you to come and be my editor.
  
  Wait, maybe that should be “come be my editor”? Argh, grammar.

      Sorry to drive all the grammarians nuts today. And thanks for your gracious overlooking of all my regular grammar errors. I appreciate you all!

Who said this? Whose quote is this, please?

  It was a quote taken from something I was writing recently. So it was from me… though I’m sure other people have said similar things.
  
  My apologies if that wasn’t clear from the post!
