Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit. Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever, even if your whole world seems upset.

May 1st is La Fête du Muguet in France. Muguet is Lily of the Valley. It’s thought that the tradition of offering this fragrant and delicate flower to loved ones originated in 1561 when King Charles IX of France received a sprig. Told that it would bring him luck and prosperity for the year ahead, he decided to share the good fortune by offering Lily of the Valley to every lady in his court.
