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 occasion, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony.

William Ellery Channing


this quote is from Ali Edward's blog- Ali is someone I admire and I enjoy reading her blog. This quote sums up what i am striving for...a gentle reminder to keep on plugging away to my better self.

i know i owe this blog some pictures. they will come soon, i have not played with billy in a while. i miss him and owe the recess to trying to get back into the normal swing of things after december.
