fruit salad.

Posted on October 15, 2021 by beth

the kinder each brought in fruit, chopped it, stirred it, and ate something new when it was all mixed together.

—

“instead of trying to blend in and be like everyone else,

be proud of and celebrate your unique differences and qualities.

a fruit salad is delicious precisely because each fruit maintains its own flavor.”

-sean covey
