 “A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for one's neighbor — such is my idea of happiness.”
~Leo Tolstoy~

Nothing like a little fun

“Make the most of every moment. Get excited about every little thing.  Why not?  Why not have your wonderful moment of excited anticipation?  Why not be happy NOW? This is my greatest challenge, but something I'm pouring my heart into:  learning how to enjoy what I have, right here, right now.”   Bethenny Frankel

Sometimes, the smallest step in the right direction, 

ends up being the biggest step of your life.

Pioneer Children Sang as they Walked

“Though we have rightly applauded our ancestors for their 
spiritual achievements (and do not and must not

will have done no small thing. 
The special spirits who have been reserved 

to live in this time of challenges and who overcome 

will one day be praised for their stamina 

by those who pulled handcarts.”
~Neal A. Maxwell~
