Words to live by: Betty Smith

Today’s quote is from one of my most favorite books, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith. I love this line from the 72 year old novel, and it still fits in very well with the resurgence of the desire for mindfulness and meditation in our daily lives that many of us are seeking in contrast to the overstimulation that always connected technology brings into our lives.
