Simple Pleasures and Quality Living
Simple pleasures for me are relaxing outdoors in
beautiful weather -- just me and God, talking on the
phone with a friend, and watching my 11 year old
daughter hug her grown-up friends. My definition of
quality living is to love all, and give of yourself.

Keep right with God. There is no quality in life
without that. Don't do things that make you feel guilty.
Learn to love. Like simple things. Be true to your
highest ideals. Learn to work. Quality of life for me is
time alone to do as I wish, a good book, a good cup of
coffee or hot tea, and sitting in the swing, talking with
friends, a dog, and a good music system.

Simple pleasures include a hot fudge sundae, a
walk on the beach at sunset, and being around my
grandson all contribute to my quality of life. Quality
living for me is to put the Lord first, your wife second,
and the rest of your family next. All other priorities will
work themselves out such as job, recreation, living
location, etc.

Live in the smallest town in which you can still make
a living. Love your wife forever. Don't stop growing.
Praise always surpasses criticism as a motivator for
family members. Fresh lemon for my tea, watching the
float go under, watching children grow, watching the
light bulb come on in a student's eyes -- These are all
a part of quality living.
