This describes how simple life can be. The statement makes sense at first glance. Then one might notice that there is no mention of a flat screen TV, a large and shiny vehicle that is too big to fit in a garage or the countless other things that people chase after. I have been quite content with a hard day’s work and a good night’s rest. The woman part of this statement is really the icing on the cake (but an incredible blessing nonetheless).

“If you have a days work and a good word and a nights rest after keeping the company of your friends and a woman to greet the morning with then…you are blessed above all men”
