"There is no better time than the present
- no matter the busyness surrounding us or the grinding ordinaries of life -
to seek rest, pleasure, goodness, and beauty.
It's always there, wherever we happen to find ourselves,
though to find it we might need to hold our expectations
a little more loosely and open our eyes and hearts.
If we can do that, we'll be surprised at the
delight that can visit itself upon us."
~ Sally Clarkson
