great minds think alike

To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty; 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
---that is to have succeeded

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Kristy and I both got inspired by this quote from separate sources in recent days. I can't even remember where I read this recently but I loved it and wanted to post it. And there, on Kristy's blog, she posted it.

I have a lot of things on my mind these days and am processing sooooo much that these inspirational quotes keep me going. That and my 3 girlfriends which are providing me the "big big loan from the girls zone" that I so need.

So, later.
