Rosemary's Blessing:  

 

To laugh often and much;
To win the respect of intelligent people and
the affection of children;
To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure
the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty;
To find the best in others;
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 –
This is to have succeeded.

 

What Is Success  by Ralph Waldo Emerson

    Rosemary's Blessing:  

    From Pope Francis’ twitter:

    Do not judge, Christ tells us. How many times do we not only pass along gossip or rumors, but consider ourselves justified when we are harsh in our judgement of others. We can be indulgent with ourselves, but inflexible with others.
