….from an unlikely source. Last night while i was reading one of the books from a favorite mystery thriller author. I happened upon a phrase describing the life of one of it’s characters. I stopped cold and thought how wonderful to find this unexpected nugget of wisdom.
“And I knew, too, that to live a life……..a life almost mundane in the pleasure it derived from small happiness and the beauty of the familiar, but uncommon in the value it attached to them – was something to be envied”
That’s beautiful! Take pleasure in the little things.
Love,
Julie
I think that describes a lot of us here, doesn’t it? Beautiful quote!

I try to appreciate life in that way. I never think of it as a way to be envied, but rather a way to truly live. Life is mostly made up of the small moments, I think.
