If you have everything the world can give - pleasure, possessions, power - but lack peace of mind, you can never be happy. This quote is by Dada Vaswani, now I know there are thousands of quotes about

It was in my grandma’s garden that I would spend the long, lazy days of summer, playing with toys, her reading to me, and just generally enjoy being in nature with the person I loved the most. My grandmother took an inordinate amount of pride in her garden; she was as attentive and caring to it as she was with all living things.
