Life as it should be

"I am grateful I descended from a farmer. To that link with the soil I owe 

whatever measure of physical energy and stability I have. Without it I should 

have turned into a hopeless neurotic. 

Whatever you do, never allow yourself to get a neuroses...But it can be avoided. Keep clear of introspection, of brooding, of spiritualism, of everything eccentric. Keep to work and sanity and open air - to the cheerful and the matter of fact side of things. 

We hold our mental health by a thread: and nothing is worth risking it for. Above all beware of excessive dreaming, of seeing yourself in the center of a drama, of self pity, and, as far as possible, of fears. — " CS Lewis

Flowers of the Day

This is my Father's World

This is my Father's world,

The birds their carols raise,

The morning light, the lily white,

Declare their maker's praise.

This is my Father's world,

He shines in all that's fair;

In the rustling grass I hear him pass;

He speaks to me everywhere.
