Happy Friday.
One of my favorite quotes for this Friday afternoon:
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
occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

Ali,
I love all the quotes you share with us. Is there an archive where I can find past quotes I didn't get copied before they disappeared from your current page? I find them so helpful and usually something I need to hear in the moment. Thanks!
