Hello Friends!

Today, I’d like to share one of my favorite quotes. It is my mantra, in a sense.

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

Until tomorrow – Write On!

~ K.L…

“Sometimes, when I walk along the corridor here, I fancy I hear her [Rebecca] just behind me. That quick, light footstep. I could not mistake it anywhere…It’s almost as though I catch the sound of her dress sweeping the stairs as she comes down to dinner. Do you think she can see us, talking to one another now? Do you think the dead come back and watch the living?” – said by Mrs. Danvers

-Daphne du Maurier, Rebecca
