"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Toothbrushes at the Ready

I'm doing a toothbrush-clean of the bathrooms today. No, not because I am a fastidious housekeeper. I am still weak and tired from illness, but I decided that if I can manage to brush my teeth, I can manage to brush the bathrooms, too. Company is coming for two weeks, and the least they deserve is sparkling bathtubs and sinks and toilets.

Old toothbrushes work great.
