Grit Quote by Jolie Sikes

“Grit doesn’t happen when things are good. Grit happens when we’re tested. When Elvis is dead, and things are bleak at best, because you’re out of work, you have two toddlers, and you just spent a precious twenty bucks on something not vitally necessary.” quote by Jolie Sikes
