Weekly words to live by - June 20, 2010

Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way and that so many things that one goes worrying about are of no importance whatsoever. ~ Isak Dinesen

I think this sentence would also be used often by older people towards the end of their lives. I've read that the elderly are often happier than the younger more healthier ones. I guess because they have truly learned to be grateful for the joy they do have.

So True, I need to read this daily.

Kathleen said...

It is true, but it is human nature to worry, some more than others. I remember my mom saying of a flighty person, "She has nothing on her mind but her hat!" I guess it would be good to be that way As you get through the trials in life, you do fear what will happen next.

Wise words. I am actively trying to live my life in this way. It doesn't always work, but I do feel like it is truly important to keep trying.

Have a wonderful weekend, Kathleen.

It's true, and often worthwhile to look forward and imagine oneself looking back to the supposedly worrying thing to see it in context. And now I must visit Twig.
