Abstract
Every early morning since the pandemic began in March 2020, I have posted on social media an inspirational quote with a photograph of a flower that I’ve taken. Here are some examples of these words:
“Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement.” Golda Meir
“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, ‘What! You too? I thought I was the only one.” C.S. Lewis
“Every sunset is an opportunity to reset. Every sunrise begins with new eyes.” Richie Norton
“I want every day to be a fresh start on expanding what is possible.” Oprah Winfrey
