Quietude is a state of calmness, a place of stillness, in which the seeds of love, joy and peace may quietly grow, flourish and blossom.
~ Mary Anne Byrne ~
Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.
~ Henry David Thoreau ~

"… I do not hate. I do not poison my soul by hating someone. I prefer indifference. It is cleaner, more comfortable, more effective. And I choose the smile. It is more elegant, more striking, wiser. I prefer to move away, not to complain , to shut up, to learn my lesson. And not to forget. - "Because I'm a strong woman, I tell myself: Tomorrow I have work." - Margaret Mitchell
My grandmother used to say: Don't go where your not invited.
Don't talk about what you don't know.
Just mind your own business.
Don't open the fridge at other people's houses.
Do not call after 10 p.m.
Don't visit someone at lunch time.
Don't enter other people's room without permission.
It was the rules of good manners and continue to be the rules, because education never goes out of fashion.
Well said!
🖤 Robin Williams 🖤 once said: "I think the people who have experienced the most sadness are the ones who are always trying to make other people happy. Because they know firsthand what it's like to feel empty and depressed, and they don't want anyone else to feel that way." 🤍
So beautiful, Nada!

''Man's life is stormy by times.. A time to sow, a time to reap, time of sadness, time of joy, time of love, time of loneliness.. If you think about it that way, you will also be able to lean on at your lowest moment, because this too will belong to one of the seasons of your life...''
~ Seferis
There are moments when you don't need to talk..moments when you don't need to understand..moments when you don't need anything..moments when you need to look at nature, and listen only to the sweet melody of your heart...
