A People Day with rain

1. Places to go and people to see this morning helped spur the day onward.
2. High tea served at 6:00PM. F.'s mom is visiting from Pakistan and she cooks for us.
3. We discuss the book, Three Cups of Tea. F.'s mom talks about life in Pakistan and we talk about the world's events from our own perspective, not the news'.

I bet she cooked a tasty meal. I love Indian food.

"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."
