THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

"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

love it :) great measure of success as a human being - no question in my mind that Dan measured up, and i hope that when my last day has come and gone, others will feel that i did, too.
