The little things
Hi, I'm Anna. I'll be honest upfront, I am just me. I am not a phenomenal writer but I have a lot to say. I am no one extraordinary...but I do know that ordinary people can do extraordinary things. I want to blog to add a little more beauty into the world. We need to return to virtue. “The world has enough [men and] women who are tough; we need [men and] women who are tender. There are enough [of us] who are coarse; we need [men and] women who are kind. There are enough [men and] women who are rude; we need [men and] women who are refined. We have enough [men and] women of fame and fortune; we need more [men and] women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.” -Margaret Nadauld. All growing up, a scripture that I have always held strong to was Proverbs 31:10 - "Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies." I learned that rubies are even more valuable and rare than diamonds. They are the most prized jewel. I believe that if we choose to rise above the world and choose to be virtuous than we can accomplish a great deal of goodness. How does one choose virtue? It's the little things every day that make a big difference. I firmly believe that gratitude can help us return to virtue. Today, I am grateful the sun is shining.
