To live content with small means;
To seek elegance rather than luxury,
To be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich;
To study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly;
To listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with an open heart;
To bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never.
In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the commonplace.
This to be my symphony.
William Henry Channing (1810-1884)

LJ, I must tell you - that picture of the guy sitting on the chair is no doubt a hunk to most women - but my heart is with an older gent - and my guy doesn’t look anything like my grand-son.
LOL!
