I really like that first one. It’s so true. Everyone is there for you in happy times, but the rare few are there for you in your time of need.
Good quotes. Encouraged people definitely do better than micromanaged!!

Truly a small gesture that means so much. Everyone is so busy, myself included. Today I’ll slow down a little and express my gratitude even if it’s in a little way.
