Quote for today
A happy life is not built up of tours abroad and pleasant holidays, but of little clumps of violets noticed by the roadside, hidden away almost so that only those can see them who have God's peace and love in their hearts; in one long continuous chain of little joys, little whispers from the spiritual world, little gleams of sunshine on our daily walk." ~ Edward Wilson
Thanks for your comment, BB. I am so glad you were blessed by this quote. I have seen so many "clumps of violets by the roadside" and I am always encouraged by the way they bloom so brightly in such inhospitable surroundings. I'm always reminded that we need to be doing the same!
Thanks so much for stopping by to visit my kitchen table! I love company here in my kitchen, so be sure to leave a comment so I'll know you've visited! I'll answer your questions and comments here on the blog unless you request otherwise.
I live in scenic northern New England with my handsome husband. We're empty-nesters with a bunch of adorable grandchildren. We love (tent) camping and traveling, but don't get away as often as we'd like to.
I love this quote. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
