Sometimes...

Sometimes. Sometimes I have to take a step back. And not be totally overwhelmed with what is going on in my world. Blog land can make one crazy in this realm! But to take in my life and just breathe and be happy. And as I was pondering my life and all the aspirations I hold close; I read a quote that I have on my desk and that I read often. This time it hit closer to my heart.


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…to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded!
