Choose to be happy Quote by Dwaun S. Cox

“The reward of life is life itself, not the things that get added to it. Those are just icing on the cake, but just the fact that you woke up today is a gift. A gift that you should be grateful for, a gift that you should choose to be happy about!” quote by Dwaun S. Cox
