Many years ago, I came across this bit of prose......... |
|
Edited on Tue Aug-15-06 11:08 PM by CaliforniaPeggy
And I thought all of you might enjoy reading it tonight.......
To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affections of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others to give one's self; to leave the world a bit better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived~~
This Is To Have Succeeded....
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

12. It sounds much like Kipling's "If" and it's simply beautiful. |

13. My dear Writer........ |

It does sound a little bit like that, doesn't it?
This has always resonated with me, and I thought it would make a nice thread......
I knew it wouldn't take off the way my pic threads do, or the way my silly threads have done.....
But I still wanted to put it out there, since I knew there would be like-minded folks like yourself who would appreciate it........
Thank you for your incisive and thoughtful remarks today.......
:hug:
