Food for the Soul

Today, I take a break from posting about nature and food. I will post some food for the soul instead. I think it is important to take a break now and then from whatever is occupying us to contemplate about what else is going on in our lives and around us.

Most importantly, we need to pick up on the little lessons life is teaching us, so that we can be wiser and better people. For, what good is life without wisdom and sense? Without wisdom and sense, we will not appreciate what we have, nor enjoy life. We will not be happy.

Contemplate on the following words of wisdom, and lessons on life. May you learn something from them. Cheers!
