"Sometimes it's the small things that matter most"
Hello!!
I hope everyone's new year went in with a bang!! I've thoroughly been enjoying the break and sleeping in! I just wanted to share a few things I received for Christmas..how blessed we all were!! I love how the smallest presents are always my favourites, they always seem to bring me more smiles, maybe its because you know the person who bought them for you knows exactly who you are & this is just a simple way of reminding you of that! I hope wherever you may be, you are being loved by those around you!! Keep warm & safe!
"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 listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common--this is my symphony."
William Henry Channing (1810-1884), American Unitarian clergyman, writer and philosopher
