Thursday's Thought for the Day....

"Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success. "                                                                             Louisa May Alcott
                                                                

I love the simplicity of her message - have routine, mix pleasure with work, and feel gratitude for life itself.  A woman after my own heart....

Dear friends once took my girls and I to Louisa May Alcott's home, Orchard House, in Concord, Massachusetts.  What a special day that was, especially for daughter #2 who has read Little Women well over a dozen times.  The house itself had the most calming feel to it and the surrounding New England countryside is just stunning.  A destination worth seeking out one day.
