{Quotable Thursdays}

With the first week of 'back to school' in Canada & many other countries, I'm thinking of all my nieces & nephews who remind me about the important things in life and what it is to live.

'It is the child's spirit, which we are most happy when we most recover; remaining wiser than children in our gratitude that we can still be pleased with a fair colour or a dancing light.'
