...and all the worth of little things
Hello, reader!
A while ago I stumbled across the poem Recipe for Living, by Alfred Grant Walton (emphasis added):
That's what this blog will be. A journey with me to find "all the worth of little things."

Some things a man must surely know,Not only is this poem beautiful with a great message, but that line really stuck out to me. "— And all the worth of little things." Do I take time to appreciate the little things in life? When I first read this poem and was inspired to write this blog (roughly a year ago), I think I may have more. Do I still? Do I take the little things in this life for granted? Do I live up to this poem?
— If he is going to live and grow:
He needs to know that life is more
— Than what a man lays by in store,
That more than all he may obtain,
— Contentment offers greater gain.
He needs to feel the thrill of mirth,
— To sense the beauty of the earth,
To know the joy that kindness brings
— And all the worth of little things.
He needs to have an open mind,
— A friendly heart for all mankind,
A trust in self — without conceit —
— And strength to rise above defeat.
He needs to have the will to share,
— A mind to dream, a soul to dare,
A purpose firm, a path to plod,
— A faith in man, a trust in God.
That's what this blog will be. A journey with me to find "all the worth of little things."
