For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
--ralph waldo emerson
My life is not glamorous or enviable or brimming with fine clothes and fancy furnishings and luxury upon luxury. I like those things. I've tasted those things. I object not to those things, but I certainly don't need those things. For my life is rich with laughter and love and learning, faith and song, rest, warmth, genuine friendship and simplicity. Rich with blessings granted, a life we have created together alone, our two hands, hearts and minds ever working, no hand-outs. What more could I wish than for my two most precious gifts, with rosy cheeks and sparkling giggles, to know of these things?
