Wise Words

“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, (Karen Blixen)
Happy Weekend, Blog Friends!

  21. I worry too much about the little things and need to stop. These words are a great reminder that all this worrying is unimportant when the big things happen.

    Great pic, and thank you for sharing the quote.

    God bless.

  23. Love this quote! I learned to live my life by this quote after my husband was killed by a drunk driver. It made me realize what truly was important in my life. And I guess that without those difficult times I probably wouldn't have had a clue of just how beautiful life really is. Great quote!
