THIS WONDERFUL LIFE

"It is good for us, I think, to keep as much joy in life as we can.

We busy ourselves with so many things that are not of the heart and spirit. We worry about money, we agonize over the terrible state of the world, we fret at household duties or business minutiae, we work, we argue, we squander our strength in a million ways.

And all the time the wonder of life is around us, the ecstasy of breathing air ravished by apple blossoms, of walking on fern-cooled driftways, of listening to young leaves moving in the moonlight, and seeing the twilight stars in the violet bowl of the sky.

There is enough joy in one spring day to furnish forth the world, if we but knew it."

-Gladys Tabor
