Conditions of Happiness

One of the first
conditions of happiness
is that the link between
man and nature
shall not be broken.
...Leo Tolstoy

There is a ladybug crawling along the edge of the magnolia petal.

Happy Earth Day...the 50th anniversary. The first Earth Day was held on April 22, 1970, with the goal of raising awareness about mankind's role in protecting our natural world. Take care of yourself but also remember the planet, where we are visitors.
