Photos of kids in the DR fetching water for their family from a Healing Waters systemA friend of mine shared this Ralph Waldo Emerson poem with me a few years ago. . . enjoy!
What is 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;
This is to have succeeded.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
