and the best philosophy is to do one's duties, to take the world as it comes, submit respectfully to one's lot, and bless the goodness that has given us so much happiness with it, whatever it is."
~ Horatio Walpole - 4th Earl of Orford, English art historian and author (1717 - 1797)
Quite right....as they say in England.
Good solid advice to ponder as we wind down the summer and prepare for the new year.
(Yes, I do know the new year officially begins in January. However, for those of us who have answered the call to the teaching profession, the year will always begin in September.
Even now, though it's been years since I packed up my classroom.)
