Life was not intended to be simply a round of work, no…

“Life was not intended to be simply a round of work, no matter how interesting and important that work may be. A moment’s pause to watch the glory of a sunrise or a sunset is soul-satisfying, while a bird's song will set the steps to music all day long.” quote by Laura Ingalls Wilder
