Life as a Symphony

"To live content with small means, to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion, to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich, to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds, to babes and sages, with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never, in a word to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common, this is to be my symphony." –William Henry Channing

Well...For the most part I am rather spunky and energetic but I do get very reserved and I definitely like my quiet time. I enjoy doing almost everything but I have a particular distaste for that which is fake or artificial. I love talking about God and ideas that somehow relate to Him. I am an Antiochian Orthodox Christian, striving to live each and every day with Christ in His Paradise. I am also married to the most ridiculously awesome guy and mother to the two most wonderful children and in the process of settling down and learning what exactly it means to be a wife and mother.
