The Terrace, Sparkling Glassware, Up Late

1. A dinner party at B.'s out on the terrace. The food was so wonderful, I can't even choose a favorite dish.
2. The long length of tables are covered in a variety of glassware and candles. After dark, the expanse of glassware sparkles in the candlelight and looks so pretty.
3. Arriving home late, I'm still wide awake. I'm glad I still have it in me to stay awake after 9pm.

"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny?...It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. what you see is what you get."
