Painting: Wind Blown by Daniel Ridgeway Knight 1839-1924
I give a different perspective on taking a walk in the weather.
Also, I introduce the concept of making your appearance (including clothing) "greater than your surroundings."
Who would want to see royalty if they dressed like they didn't care?
I mention the New Testament description of Christians as "a royal priesthood."
Today I talk about having a sense of well-being at home. I read something interesting from Alexis de Toqueville , a writer of history.
Please leave lots of comments tell me what you think!

Lydia again I must say how wonderful your visit is. The things you bring up for discussion are simple and beautiful ideas to incorporate into my life. I remember growing up in the 50's. . the women and men would dress in their finery (however simple and affordable it was) and take their walks / constitutions. . and always be polite even to me, a child at the time. One little woman 'Mary' would invite me to tea at her little apartment in the same building as our own. Also love your bringing up the day of the week towels and such. . I have those and am going to work on embroidering them to my own tastes and needs. . and what you read is truly uplifting and makes good sense. I now want to read some of his works. And true we live in modern times but can incorporate the best of what we love from the past. I've felt I've had to push to get those types of needs met for myself. . but I don't have to push. . I just get to put my energies into those types of things that I love from the past - - and let others carry on with what they prefer, minding my own way as I go forth. It makes life simpler and easier and truly more enjoyable and comforting. Thank you for these very warm and welcoming talks incorporating your really wonderful ideas. I greatly admire your wisdom and appreciation of gentler times.
Yes,thats my forest-go-for-a-walk dress. Will tell about it on future vid.
true, just create your era your history ---create customs for your life
