"At the end of your life, you will never regret not
having passed one more test, not winning one
more verdict, or not closing one more deal. You
will regret the time not spent with a husband,
a friend, a child, or a parent."
--Barbara Bush
This summer is the perfect time to chat with
a parent, visit a friend, or enjoy a picnic
with your partner or an afternoon in the
park with the kids.
Make memories!
