The Best Things in Life Are ...

The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.

  3. Wonderful picture--the snow is beautiful as it falls on the little cardinal. Robert Louis Stevenson certainly had a way with words--so true and so beautifully put. I agree with Country Girl---we all look forward to your posts each day.
