Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote
of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
American author and speaker, Alan Klein. And
he said, your attitude is like a box of crayons
that color your world. Constantly color your
picture gray and your picture will always be
bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture
by including humor and your picture begins to
lighten up. And that's a wrap for this morning.
