Good Thoughts

Good Thoughts

As I am fond of saying: I'm usually a beat behind the band looking for my baton... Most of you have probably already read this wise quote. It's new to me. Good thoughts with lofty goals to soar toward. xoxo

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
