Given Thought Quote by Catherine Ryan Hyde

“While I was in bed, I thought about journals. I’d never kept one. I’d never given them much thought. Was there a comfort in them? There must be, or people wouldn’t bother with them. Still, I wasn’t sure I could imagine where such comfort would be hiding.” quote by Catherine Ryan Hyde
