“Now this relaxation of the mind from work consists on playful words or deeds. Therefore it becomes a wise and virtuous man to have recourse to such things at times.” – Thomas Aquinas
“You know what I’m sick of? Using my brain. All day long it’s people and words and stress and meetings and books that you don’t remember you’re not really into until you open them on the train home and compromise and sometimes I just want to look at a picture of a dress. Followed by a picture of some cupcakes. And then a kitten.”- Robyn Wilder
“It does good also to take walks out of doors, that our spirits may be raised and refreshed by the open air and fresh breeze: sometimes we gain strength by driving in a carriage, by travel, by change of air, or by social meals and a more generous allowance of wine.” – Seneca
“Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” – Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky
I’m not sure who Robyn Wilder is but I love that quote!!! I’m all for looking at dresses, cupcakes, and kittens! And Fancy 😉 Thanks for the lake photos- I loved seeing her so happy.
She’s a journalist, I think.
