To
laugh often and much,
to win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children,
to earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends,
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others,
to leave the world a bit better,
whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded!
... Ralph Waldo Emerson

Monday's
Thought
"Don't dwell on the much that is bad--
Or soon you'll forget how to smile.
Give thanks for the little you've had,
Of the joys that make living worthwhile.
Moans and complaints build walls all around you,
Smiles open doorways so friends can come through.
--Francis Gay
