...............The Extraordinary Marriage...............
"The little things you
do every day ...
Have a greater impact on others than you might think.
A smile, rather than a frown, can make someone's day.
A kind word instead of criticism lifts an individual's spirits
rather than dragging them down."
-John Maxwell
