Sans Souci


Be content with what you have, 
rejoice in the way things are.  
When you realize there is nothing lacking, 
the whole world belongs to you.

Nancy, that a fantastic photo and when I read the quote, in my head I naturally replaced the words 'rejoice in the way things are' with rejoice in the way you are...wasn't that what we were talking about just the other day?

but far be it for me to change the words of the great Lao Tzu :)

a great post!

Tim and I talk all of the time about wanting what we have. It's a nice feeling to have that contentment.
