Be Glad of Life…..

blies Be glad of life, because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars; to be satisfied with your possessions; to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and to fear nothing except cowardice; to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts; to covet nothing that is your neighbors’s except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners; to think seldom of your enemies; often of your friends…and to spend as much time as you can, with body and with spirit;  These are little guideposts on the footpath of peace.  (Henry Van Dyke)

I haven’t had a great day today.  I’ve been hurting quite a bit the last couple of days but I don’t think that’s it.  My crafty muse has left me.  I’ve painted a few images but just can’t seem to get them into a card.  When I’m feeling down, I read my favorite uplifting quote.  Since I have nothing crafty to share with you, I’m leaving you with it.

Blessings,

Christine

Oh, I'm so sorry you've been feeling poorly these past couple of days. I hope you feel better soon...but rest and take care of yourself today. This is a beautiful post, Christine, and I thank you for sharing. (The quote and blue butterflies are amazing!)
