"When it comes to life
the critical thing is
whether you take things for granted
or take them with gratitude." ~G.K. Chesterton
"The aim of life is appreciation;
there is no sense in not appreciating things;
and there is no sense in having more of them
if you have less appreciation of them."
~G.K. Chesterton
(These two quotes are from Ann Voskamp's poetic and inspirational blog, A Holy Experience, which I receive by e-mail.)
Welcome to visitors from www.amongstlovelythings.com which is featuring a Weekends with Chesterton linkup. This may be an old post of mine, but it's what I've got to offer! It's good for me to look at it again afresh.

Oh that we modern consumers should make ourselves repeat this before we make a single purchase! In fact, it would have prudent for me to utter it before indulging in the chocolate I snarfed down this afternoon. :)
I'm glad you linked up! It's nice to meet you and poke around here on your blog.
