Not sure of the source for this quote. 🤔 #Courtesy #QuotsyJuly19

Sunraven It might actually be from a play written in 1969: https://bit.ly/2LNcLNU

"Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself."

☀️I've used this quote before; but it's simply one of my favorites to dwell on. Watching the sunrise on Mackinac Island was a special memory #PureMorning as I sat in my sweater with a book and coffee.

According to We're Related I may be related to Thoreau. I don't put to much stock in this app. And I need to get some more information for my aunts and my dad. But this is neat! #ancestry.
