__________

"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 birds, to babes and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, never hurry.

In a word, to let the spiritual unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common.

This is my symphony.”

William Henry Channing

A Recycle Quote of the Week Classic...

"For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way. Something to be got through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life."

Alfred Souza

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, or good middle of the night to all. It is time to get away from the all important details of day-to-day life, take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, kick off your shoes and enjoy reading this week's quote!
__________

"The great moments of your life won't necessarily be the things you do. They'll also be the things that happen to you. Now, I'm not saying you can't take action to affect the outcome of your life. You have to take action, and you will, but never forget, that on any day, you can step out the front door and your whole life could change forever. You see, the universe has a plan kids, and that plan is always in motion...It's a scary thought, but it's also kind of wonderful, all these little parts of the machine constantly working, making sure you end up exactly where you're supposed to be exactly when you're supposed to be there. The right place at the right time."
