I just read some wonderful lines in the text of a new book by Nora Roberts. (okay, I admit to reading Romance, Fiction, Historical, Sci-Fi, you name it) :blush:
From Chapter Four of Dance Upon the Air :
"But she could worship in her own way, and offer a prayer of thanksgiving.
...Here was peace, she thought, and joy. She would never, never take either for granted. She would remember to give something back every day.
...She would tend what she planted. She would remember to be kind, and never forget to offer a helping hand. She would keep her promises and expect nothing more than the chance to lead a good life that hurts no one.
...She would earn what she'd been given, and treasure it. She would take pleasure in the simple things, she decided. Starting right now."
Sounds like words to live by...
