I found this ....

Really cool quote by Emerson, about 5 minutes ago and it has so caputured my mind that I felt compelled to share even though it's really late & I need to go to bed. Enjoy!

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! ~ Emerson.

By these standards, I'm probably doing ok....
