Don't Worry...Be Happy Now

“Difficult times have helped me to understand better than before,
how infinitely rich and beautiful life is in every way,
and that so many things that one goes worrying about
are of no importance whatsoever.” ~Isak Dinesen, Danish Writer

    What a great quote! I love to read her stuff.

    A couple of weeks ago when I was in Arkansas, my mom's daffodils were poking through the ground already!

    Winter always ends in Spring doesn't it? Love your photo. That's a great reminder that even "this too shall pass."

    Great thought. My dad told me once that he has spent a life time worrying about things that never came to pass. Thanks for the reminder my friend.

    I remember reading somewhere that the vast majority of what we worry about never comes to pass. THat is such a comforting thought to me, a natural-born worry-wart.

    Wonderful quote from Isak Dinesen/Karen Blixen. She certainly knew about difficult times.
