To be thankful for each new day
and to put into it and get out of it all the good I can
To give, expecting nothing in return
To help bear the burdens of others
without burdening them with mine
To know enough of sorrow to be able to sympathize
To know enough of sin to direct others in the right path
To be blessed with enough of this world's goods
and to be satisfied with what I have
To look to nature for my spiritual sermon and its daily lesson
To take care of the present
and let the past and future take care of themselves
In other words, to live each day as if it were my last
This is the philosophy of my life and the symphony of my soul
~ Elsie Stewart Cartwright (1873-1962)
