What’s the most helpful advice you’ve received?
My uncle told me that, “Many people are unhappy, but they create their own unhappiness. You can choose how to react, and you can choose to be happy.”

My favorite family vacation was to Myrtle Beach. 11 of us out on the beach, just soaking up the sun and collecting shark teeth!
