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.
This is to be my symphony.
"My Symphony" by William Henry Channing

Beautiful!
I have been thinking of you a lot Kim! You are in my prayers!!
PS…let me know when you are in labor…we will pray you over the finish line!
Just another example of you being my long lost twin. I have had this framed in my living room for years. I love it.
I have never read this, I want to print out a copy. Thanks!
