A new day, They are everywhere, A new book to read

1. Sunshine after the storm.
2. The dogwood glows brilliant, white flowers against dark forest.
3. I had time for reading today, The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone.

Ohh I love dogwoods. We had Korean Dogwoods at our old home located in the interior of British Columbia and now we have plenty of Pacific Dogwoods here on Vancouver Island. Would you by chance have any photos to share please?

"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."
