“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;

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.

She enjoys just sitting and watching Daddy mow the grass.

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

She doesn’t care what anyone thinks.

She whole-heartedly loves splashing in water!

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!
