When You’re Tired…

When you're tired

“The test of a people is what they can do when they’re tired.”

– Winston Churchill

 

This is a quote that I’m needing right now and I thought you might enjoy some encouragement too!

It isn’t the great big pleasures that count the most

big pleasures quote

“It isn’t the great big pleasures that count the most;

it’s making a great deal out of the little ones.” – Jean Webster

This has always been one of my favorite quotes.  I love to slow down and take pleasure in the little things in life.  Having a one year old, who is amazed with the world, often helps put things in perspective.

Sitting Baby

She enjoys just sitting and watching Daddy mow the grass.

Baby Reading

She enjoys reading a good book and taking breaks to sing loudly.

She doesn’t care what anyone thinks.

Splashing Baby

She whole-heartedly loves splashing in water!

Smiling Baby

Pure, unadulterated, happiness!

I ran across this quote today and I found it to be a good reminder to slow down and enjoy the simple things in life.  If you will, Embrace the Beauty in life. : )  I hope it was a good reminder for  you too!
