"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

amen
Aunt Carla here...
love the hat, love the truth behind the words even more.
Thank you Richard and Carla. Richard told me the hat looked European. John took the photo, and in keeping with my promise to post EVERYONE, including myself..well, I liked this one. As for the quote, I just love it. I keep wondering what else I could do with it...print it out and frame it maybe? It will definitely make it to a scrapbook page!
