Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you. 

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Don't they sound lovely?

Hopes and Invitations

This day is all that is good and fair. 

It is too dear,

 with its hopes and invitations, 

to waste a moment on yesterdays.

If you don’t start out the day with a smile, 

it’s not too late to start practicing for tomorrow.

Female Downy Woodpecker

As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. 

They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness -- just the pure air to breathe and the strength to breath it; just warmth and shelter and home folks; just plain food that gives us strength; the bright sunshine on a cold day; and a cool breeze when the day is warm.

 — Laura Ingalls Wilder
