Suggestions needed for motto
I'm nearing the end of a piece of cross-stitch that I've been working on for about a decade. It isn't that big a project, but I had detours into knitting another other embroideries. This used to be my 'travel' embroidery, in a case ready to go and easy to take anywhere knowing that I had all the necessary bits to do it.
It had a border of poppies and cornflowers and space for my own text in the middle.
But I can't decide what words to put in the centre. It can't be too lengthy, a dozen words at most, and fewer might be better.
I'm hunting for something that says we don't need loads of possessions to be happy; that a garden is a great source of contentment; that life is to be enjoyed while you have it and maybe something ecological as well.
Now, clearly one can't manage all of that....
Random ideas have included:
Gardeners live longer
To be content is the key to happiness
We only have one world, treat it gently
Toss ideas at me. Anything that sounds good.
