A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
~Henry David Thoreau
I am slowly learning that there are more and more things that I should let alone. They may be good things, the new, "in" things, tempting and very useful things; just not for me things.
Knowing what to embrace and what to let alone frees me to focus on those things that truly make one rich- treasures in heaven.
What do you need to let alone these days? Pondering that question more and more as the new year approaches ...
I wish you simple blessings and eternal treasures in 2012!
(and I will get this template issue ironed out sometime soon .. i hope!)
Catherine, I am always blessed by your words, I too; want to walk that path this year. Have a wonderful day.
