Keep Looking

Tuesday, October 13th, 2009

Did You Say It?

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

“Did you say it?
I love you.
I don’t ever want to live without you.
You changed my life.
Did you say it?

Make a plan.
Set a goal.
Work toward it.
But every now and then look around.
Drink it in.

‘Cause this is it.
It might all be gone tomorrow.”

Success

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

“He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much;
Who has enjoyed the trust of pure women, the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children;
Who has filled his niche and accomplished his task;
Who has never lacked appreciation of Earth’s beauty or failed to express it;
Who has left the world better than he found it,
Whether an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul;
Who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had;
Whose life was an inspiration;
Whose memory a benediction.”

- Elisabeth-Anne “Bessie” Anderson Stanley
often missattributed to Ralph Waldo Emerson or Robert Louis Stevenson
