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 listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common — this is my symphony.
-William Henry Channing
Every once in a while I reread this quote and savor the advice. It was written long ago in the mid 1900’s, but it still speaks to me and is relevant.
Calli, I love your blog! You are amazing and inspire me! Could you do a blog post on how you organize a job chart for your kids? I’m looking for inspiration, so thus I turn to you!
Thanks!
