"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)

Humanitarian Reminder

My husband and I helped out with packaging food orders for the needy on Wednesday, and I was able to purchase and bring home this bag of nonfat dry milk from the storehouse. As I cut it open today to begin a batch of yogurt, I was touched by the many languages on the bag. I was reminded of all of the good-hearted people who labor regularly to be sure that the hungry are fed throughout the world.

Can you identify the five different languages on this bag?

I can identify them. I won't reveal the answers so others can guess.

I was hoping you could, Naomi. Maybe you can tell us tomorrow. Anyone else know?
