and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. - Buddha

Reflections...

 Reflections by Ethel Porter Bailey

Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds.

Discard them and their value will never be known.

Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
