Success
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.
That is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

In my journal L is my youngest daughter
C is my oldest daughter
J is the oldest son
B is the younger son
The other names in the journal are not the real names of the people.
