sweet reminder

The best things in life are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light
in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of
right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's
plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily
bread are the sweetest things in life.

Robert Louis Stevenson
