Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Rhonda Rabow
"Treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more if you shared it with someone special .. and remember that time waits for on one. There is no better
time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.
Thought for the day. Work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt and dance like there's no one watching. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift - that's why it's call the present! Live and savour every moment ... this is not a dress rehearsal!"
