As I read this now, it's tone, if not cheerful, is at least optimistic. I wrote this, however, in one of my darker moods, so I'm not quite sure where all the depression and angst went. Content-wise, it is about those countless things we take for granted in our lives that, in fact, are the greatest possible blessings. On a separate note, welcome back to those of you who went on the CL vacation (you know who you are). I had an amazing five days, and hope that your time was equally wonderful.
Ordinary Treasures
My friend, my friend,
how lucky you are.
All that you count common,
I yearn from afar.
So always remember
these treasures you hold.
Then you will grow richer
as others grow old.

I like the design change!
and of course, the poem as well
Thanks! I got the picture and text from old Charles Robinson illustrations. You should check out this website (http://www.surlalunefairytales.com/illustrations/) if you get a chance; it has tons of old pre-raphaelite and brandywine children's illustrators. I'm sure you'd love it.
I definitely do! In fact, I stole your recommendation and put it on my blog :)
It's the best website I've come across in quite a time.
