OUR WORLD - A Little Philosophy


When the world seems dark and dreary and your troubles
weigh you down,


look over your shoulder and see the sun that shines upon the
beauty in your life,


that, no matter what the difficulties, still brings you beauty
in abundance in every season of the year and of life,


wherever you go new wonders surround you . . .


Learn contentment from the goose, happiness is green grass
to nibble, as long as we have food and shelter, we are rich.



All photos enlarge and are from our fall trip in May.

Cone one, come all and show us what is happening in your world
on OUR WORLD.

  16. As long as we have food and shelter we are rich... Great words and true. A pity that people are never satisfied. I often watch a program about people buying a house. First they see several houses and comment on them. The most beautiful houses are not good enough. The kitchen is too small, the bathroom is the wrong colour, the masterbedroom has not enough cupboards... and so on. My house is simple and I am happy with it.
    I always enjoy visiting your blog, Arija! Have a great week.
