Quote

"Be glad with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness."

This was the quote I used in my high school yearbook profile.  Funny how something I picked out over 35 years ago has stuck with me and really turned out to still be something I strive for.  I'm not always generous with money or things, but I try hard to cultivate what my husband calls a "generous spirit."  And, in that light, it is a good reminder that we know ourselves better at a young age than people my age give young people credit for.  Something to keep in mind as one of our sons moves home from college for the summer.  I don't have to be the Mom he left behind when he went off to college -- I don't know everything about him, nor do I need to be directing his life. 

But, I will be suggesting a knitting project to help keep him busy :)
