Happiness

Dear Editor:

I am not all about gloom and doom, sometimes I even get glimpses of a better way: “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 to 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 that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Amen, to that. No amount of money can ever buy any person that kind of peace of mind …
