“Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life’s plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.”
-Robert Louis Stevenson

They truly are! I remember that every time I’ve been in a hospital bed that my utmost wish was just to be home again going about my humble tasks. They seemed more wonderful to me than any trip to an exotic land.
Lovely painting too!

What a charming image! And Stevenson, he’s wonderful. This thought reminds me of something I just read here: http://spencerabbey1098.blogspot.com/2023/06/brother-kenneths-simple-profession.html

Hello sweet friend! I do like some of RLS’s thinking and I especially like that quote. When I am not out of my routine, I love to write down what I do so I can look and reflect on the smaller things.

Is this a reminder to me that no matter what I may be hoping or planning to do, there’s always a mountain of laundry, laughing, waiting to get done?
