The small ways of living

Nan's 'quote du jour' today is a lovely one on the subject of taking pleasure in simple things and finding art "in all the small ways of living"; as Gladys Taber says there, "no matter what heaven may be like, there is no use just waiting for it".

(Flowers on the desk, after Vita's fashion.)

Thank you for the link, and thank you for the flowers - a lovely combination!

I saw the title of your post on my blog list and came right over. I was stunned that it was Gladys' words you were referring to. Thank you. And your flowers are so beautiful.

All thanks are due to you, Nan, and to Gladys Taber of course!

Pleasure, Ann, but it's Nan who must take the credit really (and the flowers are just what the garden happened to yield for a posy).

Gladys Taber is right!
