“Learn to like what doesn't cost much.
Learn to like reading, conversation, music.
Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking.
Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, climbing hills.
Learn to like people, even though some of them may be different...different from you.
Learn to like to work and enjoy the satisfaction doing your job as well as it can be done.
Learn to like the song of birds, the companionship of dogs.
Learn to like gardening, puttering around the house, and fixing things.
Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and windows, and the gentle fall of snow on a winter day.
Learn to keep your wants simple and refuse to be controlled by the likes and dislikes of others.”

Inspiration

I'm in desperate wanting for a giant white board for my wall, thinking that my personal revelation shouldn't be kept hidden in a book for me to look at every 3 months. It should be displayed all over my room for me to see. Because I think I need that constant reminder that my father in Heaven loves me enough to build my testimony and strengthen me when I seek Him. I think I need to see the proof daily, because I don't remember as much as I should.

The proof? These random thoughts that I never could conjure up on my own. These thoughts that are truly inspired by God, and are meant personally for me at the moments I need them most. But no. He doesn't think I need it. I keep them in my journal. Because it's what will be good for me.

The monthly reflections, contemplations, and ponderings are the things I remember, and leave a permanent mark. I couldn't do that on a daily basis. 
Sorry white board. Don't need you.
