Love Practically (The Penn-Leiths of Thistle Muir, #1)

by Nichole Van

Loving a child was an odd thing, he decided. He would happily give up his life for Madeline. But sacrificing the quiet of his library to listen to her incessant questions? Perhaps not.

But for the rest of us, life often comes as more fractured particles of joy, just wee bits of heaven. The trick is to be content with the number you’ve been given.

Bitterness is often a choice, not a foregone conclusion.

After all, contentment was not measured by experiences lived, but by one’s attitude toward those experiences.

He’s making a muckle out of a mickle, and I willnae stand for it.”
