This book on "interior housekeeping" illuminates the true measure of a life lived in terms of usefulness and impeccability rather than accomplishment or possessions. With subtle wit, wonderfully evocative language, and clear-eyed wisdom gleaned from her own experience, Toinette Lippe teaches us how to cultivate what is essential and to let go of what is not. This "primer in grateful living" (Brother David Steindl-Rast, OSB) shows us how to move through the day with integrity, elegant economy, and grace.
