Growing up, we spent a lot of time with my grandmother. I think one of my favorite childhood memories is Grandma reading the Anne of Green Gables books to us (and there are 7ish?) This break I picked them up again. It is so refreshing to see it with a new light, the quips at politics and the world, but to see the beauty.
One of my favorite quotes thus far:
"I'd like to add some beauty to life," said Anne dreamily. "I don't exactly want to make people know more... though I know that is the noblest ambition... but I'd love to make them have a pleasanter time because of me... to have some little joy or happy thought that wouldn't have existed if I had never been born." ~Anne of Avonlea
