You find the most amazing quotes! I really love this one, especially now when a new year is beginning. This is the first time I have commented but I want you to know that I read your blog every day and I am so appreciative of all the wonderful articles and insight and inspiration that you give to your readers. I can’t thank you enough for all the reading enjoyment you have given me.

What a wonderful sentiment for the new year. That’s what the new year is like, a brand new field of unbroken snow, full of potential and promise and unspoiled by anything bad. What happens next is up to us. Thanks so much for the thought and for the other great info that is part of this blog. Happy 2009!

That quote (and picture) are beautiful. Thank you for this blog! There is so much information here and it has all been extremely helpful to me as we decide what simple means to us and how we can best execute our plans.

Fantastic quote. Quite true and very sobering.
