“How to be happy when you are miserable. Plant Japanese poppies with cornflowers and mignonette, and bed out the petunias among the sweet-peas so that they shall scent each other. See the sweet-peas coming up. Drink very good tea out of a thin Worcester cup of a colour between apricot and pink…”
Rumer Godden (British Author; December 10th, 1907 to November 8th, 1998)
“It was the small things that helped, taken one by one and savored. Make yourself savour them.”
Rumer Godden (British Author; December 10th, 1907 to November 8th, 1998)
“The soulcraft of creating and sustaining safe havens, set apart from the world, in which to seek and savor small authentic joys.”
“…everyone is a house with four rooms, a physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual. Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not a complete person.”
Indian proverb
“I spend time in each room everyday as that is living fully into every day and every moment.”
