Seneca the Younger

Quotes and Notes #85, January 25
“It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.” –Seneca
Too many times we lose sight of the good things in our lives as we wish for something unattainable. My wife has a rule for the house, “If something comes in, something must go out.” I love this rule. If I start to bring something home I automatically ask myself, “what will I dispose of?” I wonder if we could do this with our thoughts—such as when we get something new to fret over, we should get rid of an old fret? That’s just an off-the-top-of-my-head thought. I shall ponder it today. Enjoy the sun. Share a smile
Everything is going to be all right.
