Thank You, Emerson

"To laugh often and much; to win respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of false 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, I believe we have just begun a life-long friendship.
