One that I am a frequent haunter of. The woman's name is Heather Bailey and I can't get enough! I love her blog, I love her fabric lines...the list goes on. I would love an afternoon tea with her and permission to pick her brain. Anyways, she used this quote today and it made me stop and think:
"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of 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 (1803-1882)
Wow. Doesn't that just take your breathe away? It really made me stop to think-infact I read it over a few times. My favorite part is "to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation".
My goal tomorrow is exactly that.
