'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 study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with 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 common.

I haven't a clue who the man is that wrote that quote. I just read it on an email that came through to me. It's almost even painful to read it because i most DEFINATELY don't think as deeply as he does and my brain starts feeling a little 'stressed' (heehee)
....HOWEVER...you do think deeply Scarlet. I've always admired that ability of yours. How was your Christmas...tell me more.
I would just like to say that i read that quote and thought of you- the Kim Hansen I know already.
