[ My Symphony ]

To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement
rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to listen to 
stars and birds, babes and sage, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act 
frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, 
unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common - this is my symphony.

-William Henry Channing  

In order to keep myself afloat in the new year, I'm taking heed of these wise words. Life tends to pass by so quickly, and I want to be more open minded, more accepting of the weakness in myself and others, and more aware and grateful of the positive moments in life while overlooking the bad.  I want to give more love to counteract all the hate.

So every day I will create something, read something, and write. As for this blog, I'm going to start posting more of my daily outfits along with a short gratitude journal in order to keep my mind on the prize and off the bad stuff.

I hope everyone is stuffed full of good food and love.
