Thought of the Day

A few weeks ago the espousa was at an estate sale in Madison and picked up an item that she thought was interesting. It was what appears to be a sheet out of an old autograph collection. It consists of a phrase and a signiture. She had trouble reading the handwriting and had no idea what the sig was. When I was shown the piece I read the sig as that of John Masefield, the former poet laureate of England.

I googled the phrase and Masefield's name and bingo! a gif of his sig on an appreciation site matched and I found a Masefield attribution for the phrase on the card. Everything matched.

Oh, the phrase. The days that make us happy make us wise.

I have it framed on my desk and see it every day multiple times. Here's to hoping each of us become very wise.
