A Minnie Winnie to Love

Matt and Sara of the Live Lightly Tour have remodeled yet another motor home. They never cease to amaze me with their creativity and eye for beauty. See a before and after photo slide show here.

A thank you to bcostin for sharing this photo on flickr.

'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)
