Welcome to Litsy!

"After owning books, almost the next best thing is talking about them."

Charles Nodier was a 19th century French librarian, author and playwright ("Trilby" is probably his best known work now), and I really hope the translation of the above quote is exact, as that "almost" is so on point! ??
(EDIT: Wrong "Trilby"! I was thinking of George du Maurier ??‍♂️)

"Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one‘s definition of your life; define yourself"

"In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on"

"If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane"
-R.F.

❤️Wishing you all a day of you being you, laughter, and experiencing moments of happiness, Littens. It's a rough world out there and I'm glad we have each other.

"Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself."

☀️I've used this quote before; but it's simply one of my favorites to dwell on. Watching the sunrise on Mackinac Island was a special memory #PureMorning as I sat in my sweater with a book and coffee.

"Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself."?

Morning traffic could wait so I could take in five minutes of this. ?My farmer neighbor was getting ready to work the field. ?

"There is a religious hallelujah, but there are many other ones[....] When one looks at the world, there's only one thing to say, and it's hallelujah. That's the way it is." -Leonard Cohen

I love this song. I have renditions on my ipod and it made an appearance at our wedding as the song everyone danced to in honor of our missing loved ones. Cohen gets it right.

"Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story....."

I want to post the entire poem but character length prevents. I read this everyday and love the wisdom. #DontStopBelievin #RockinMay #Desiderata #Namaste

🌸Love this yogi wisdom. 🌸

“Nothing has ever been said about God that hasn‘t already been said better by the wind in the pine trees.” 🌲

🌲This spoke to my heart. Whenever I hear the wind through the trees it truly gives me pause to reflect on a higher Power. I'm so glad to see another feels the same way. #treegrace #wind #fraserfir #pinetree #nature #gratitude #desiderata #reflections
