"Let us learn to be content with what we have.
Let us get rid of our false estimates, set up all the higher ideals...
A quiet home,
Vines of our own planting,
A few books full of the inspiration of genius,
A few friends worthy of being loved and able to love in return,
A hundred innocent pleasures that bring no pain or remorse,
A devotion to the right that will never swerve,
A simple religion empty of all bigotry, full of trust and hope and love~
and to such a philosophy that this world will give up all the joy it has."
~*~
And this one from Henry David Thoreau...
Our life is frittered away by detail.
Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!
~*~
Have an awesome Sunday.
Blessings.
Rebecca

Simplicity, that's what I miss about my childhood! The days were long and fun, playing in the yard:) Being content... Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
Good morning Rebecca,
Both of the quotes that you have posted are brilliant! I have been thinking along the lines of the first quote for a while now. Living a quiet existence with a garden, good friends, great books and good food is what I am aiming for.
I wish for you a blessed day.
Love and warm hugs, Laura
