          Glade caught another “bug” and didn’t feel well all night.  He was somewhat better this morning, but wisely stayed at home to be sure.  Tonight all is well and he is making his lunch for tomorrow.  J

          While cleaning out some old emails, I found a copy of a poem I used for a lesson a long time ago and still love to hear.  Thought I would share it with you.  To simplify is a way to find peace.

         

“Learn to like what doesn’t cost much.

*Learn to like reading, conversation, music.

Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking.

*Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, climbing hills.

Learn to like people, even though some of them may be different from you.

*Learn to like to work and enjoy the satisfaction of 

doing your job as well as it can be done.

Learn to like the songs of birds, the companionship of dogs.

*Learn to like gardening, puttering around the house and fixing things.

Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and windows,

and the gentle fall of snow on a winter’s day.

*Learn to keep your wants simple

and refuse to be controlled by the likes and dislikes of others.”
