I'm putting this thought in a visible place where it will daily inspire/comfort/focus me. Worthy goals, and beautiful.
"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely; await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common: this is to be my symphony."
*William Henry Channing*

Cissy;
Thanks for sharing that....I just went through a day of "but the Joneses have" I think it all started when our roof started leaking and then I think of all the things that our house needs...and that i "need" and christmas coming up....and i get overwhelmed...but this quote calms and soothes, and reprioritizes....
Thanks!
I love this quote! It speaks of peace and calm in a world of craziness. I'm going to post this on my fridge. Thanks so much for sharing.
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing! Alyssa Jane is delivering your makeup to Cassie today, so please contact Cassie about getting it. ( I should have just mailed it!!)
Love the quote. I admire good writing that speaks volumes with few words.
Thank you for posting something so completely in harmony with my soul. I have never heard it, but somehow it seems to be taken from right out of my heart! I love it and will share it! Keep up your blogging, you're very good! And what a treasure for your family.
