    May it be so...

    Words to live by...

      "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 leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition."

      - Ralph Waldo Emerson
