"Happiness is making the most of what you have." --Rosamunde Pilcher "Take a few things off your plate and take a vacation, get some sleep, eat better, drink less coffee, resolve any conflicts weighing on your mind, get some exercise, get away by yourself once in awhile, take off a few pounds, read a good book, and stop and smell the roses." --Karen Jogerst, If I Could Just Get Organized! "Housecleaning involves two things. It involves our time and our energy. What do our children crave most? Our time and our energy. The American family has a problem when our floors and carpets receive more care and attention than our children." --Brook Noel, Back to Basics: 101 Ideas for Strengthening Our Children and Our Families "The soul which is possessed of this rich treasure of contentment, is like Noah in the ark, that can sing in the midst of a deluge." --Thomas Watson, The Art of Divine Contentment "The goal of much that is written about life management is to enable us to do more in less time. But is this necessarily a desirable goal? Perhaps we need to get less done, but the right things." ~Jean Flemming, Finding Focus in a Whirlwind World "I have learned to have very modest goals for society and myself, things like clean air, green grass, children with bright eyes, not being pushed around, useful work that suits one's abilities, plain tasty food..." ~Paul Goodman "A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one's husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh, from Gift from the Sea "I must try to be alone for part of each year, even a week or a few days; and for part of each day, even for an hour or a few minutes in order to keep my core, my center. . . unless I keep [this] intact somewhere within me, I will have little to give my husband, my children, my friends or the world at large." ~Anne Morrow Lindbergh, from Gift from the Sea Before you surf on, be sure to sign up for my free twice-a-month email newsletter, Simple Times.
