"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 study hard, think
quietly, talk gently, act frankly...to listen to stars and buds, to babes and
sages, with open heart; await occasions,
hurry never...this is my symphony."

Time always flies past me. Leaving me more frantic than i already am.
Have to slow down....
Oh I love this poem! Lovely!

To pursue life, love and laughter, with people important to me, to smell the flowers, appreciate the birds and the bees, the laugh, to cry, to live. To be in awe of God and creation as a whole. To live progressively.
