Saturday Quote

“Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas, for next summer, for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day”

"Dag Hammarskjold"

Here's to trying to surrender your whole soul to each moment every day.

Saturday Quote

In these chaotic, hectic, joy-filled days, Saturday's quote has shifted to Sunday.

Packing for a month's sojourn for 5 (three of then under the age of seven), welcoming daddy back from a two-week business trip, making homemade fudge for neighbors and mailman, and celebrating as much Texas Christmas as possible before we leave to celebrate more Christmas, Southern California style, I leave you with this:





Wishing you all joyful preparations and safe travel in this season.

Saturday Quote

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant,

to enact gratitude is generous and noble,

but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven.

Johannes A. Gaertner



I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought;
and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

~G.K. Chesterton



You say grace before meals. All right.
But I say grace before the concert and the opera, and grace before the play and pantomime, and grace before I open a book, and grace before sketching, painting, swimming, fencing, boxing, walking, playing, dancing and grace before I dip the pen in the ink.

~G.K. Chesterton



Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues,
but the parent of all the others.

Cicero (106-43 B.C.)

It is impossible to feel grateful and depressed
in the same moment.

Naomi Williams, Body, Mind and Spirit
