Words for Wednesday


"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--


That about says it all. Have a great Wednesday!

  1. Wow! What great words! It makes us think about what we do and how we act and gives us a little appreciation for the hard work we are able to accomplish.
