Letitia Baldrige Quotes

What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare?

One of the best things to do sometimes is simply to be.

I'm content with life, and I'm finally at that place where I feel relaxed and can really enjoy what's going on around me.

Every single pleasure I can imagine or have experienced is more delightful, more of a pleasure, if you take it in small sips, if you take your time. Reading is not an exception.

We need time to defuse, to contemplate. Just as in sleep our brains relax and give us dreams, so at some time in the day we need to disconnect, reconnect, and look around us.

I strive to be my best every time I go out, and that's very stressful. After a while of doing that... it's nice to just take a deep breath, sit on a tractor.

Don't make things too complicated. Try to relax, enjoy every moment, get used to everything.
