“ No one
can get inner peace
by pouncing on it. "
Harry Emerson Fosdick
" Being rich is having money;
being wealthy is having time. "
Stephen Swid
" To be nobody but yourself
in a world which is doing
its best,
night and day,
to make you everybody else
means to fight the
hardest battle
which any human being
can fight;
and never stop fighting.
"
e. e. cummings
Sunday - Day of Rest
" Take rest;
a field that has rested
gives a bountiful crop. "
Ovid

The best gift
you can give
yourself
is rest
and return
to
yourself.
We think there will
always be time
for our own particular joys-
but to often when play time comes
we have forgotten
what games we enjoy-
and who
we were
before we got
so busy.
There are many influencers
guilt-ing us to DO!
TO BUY!
TO DISPLAY!
But don't you listen.
Taking a few seconds,
to pause,
to listen to another,
to smile,
to not rush away -
Those are the seconds
of wealth
accruing rich interest
in the only account
that matters.

Greetings Cloudia, you are so right about taking time to play, and today is that day. Just myself and an 8 and 11 year old (boys) going to the Medieval Fair- today at Caponi Art Park. Let the games and the Middle Ages come back to life today! Medieval justice was a quaint thing! May play and happiness follow you all day long-Karen
