Sisters having a good laugh

and not taking ourselves too seriously.

“Sisters function as safety nets in a chaotic world simply by being there for each other.” 
― Carol Saline

I liked that quote.  It's true.  I have 3 wonderful sisters, and whether they realize it or not, they have all been there for me, at different times.  They have been my 'safety net' through many of my

own 'chaotic times'.
