“Growing up in a place that has winter, you learn to avoid self-pity. Winter is not a personal experience, everybody else is just as cold as you, so you shouldn't complain about it too much. You learn this as a kid, coming home crying from the cold, and Mother looks down and says, 'It's only a little frostbite. You're okay.' And thus you learn to be okay. What's done is done. Get over it. Drink your coffee. It's not the best you'll ever get but it's good enough.” LooksLittlesSelfDoneEnoughHomeKidsMotherGrowing UpToo MuchGrowingCryColdDrinkOkayDown AndWinterComplainingCoffeePityOver ItComing HomeGood EnoughGet OverSelf PityPersonal Experiences Author:Garrison Keillor

“What keeps faith cheerful is the extreme persistence of gentleness and humor. Gentleness is everywhere in daily life, a sign that faith rules through ordinary things: through cooking and small talk, through storytelling, making love, fishing, tending animals and sweet corn and flowers, through sports, music, and books, raising kids-all the places where the gravy soaks in and grace shines through. Even in a time of elephantine vanity and greed, one never has to look far to see the campfires of gentle people. Lacking any other purpose in life, it would be good enough to live for their sake.” PeopleLooksBookEnoughWould BeKidsPurposeSportsAnimalGraceSweetFlowerOrdinaryCookingShiningGreedSakeExtremesBe GoodStorytellingVanityPersistenceGentleFishingDaily LifeGood EnoughPurpose Of LifeMaking LoveLackingCheerfulGentlenessCornKeep The FaithOrdinary ThingsRaising KidsSmall TalkGravyCampfireSweet Corn Author:Garrison Keillor
