contented living...

"There are eight requisites for contented living:

Health enough to make work a pleasure,

Wealth enough to support your needs,

Strength to battle with difficulties and overcome them,

Grace enough to confess your sins and foresake them,

Patience enough to toil until some good is accomplished,

Charity enough to see some good in your neighbour,

Faith enough to make real the things of God,

Hope enough to remove all anxious fear regarding the future."



Johann von Goethe
