May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields.
And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

“Live life fully while you're here.
Experience everything. Take care
of yourself and your friends.
Have fun, be crazy, be weird.
Go out and screw up! You're going
to anyway, so you might as well
enjoy the process. Take the opportunity
to learn from your mistakes: find the
cause of your problem and eliminate it.
Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent
example of being human.”

~Anthony Robbins

“Another fresh new year is here . . .
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!



This bright new year is given me
To live each day with ZEST . . .
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!



I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!”

~William Arthur Ward

*****************

“I learned this, at least,
by my experiment: that if one advances
confidently in the direction of his dreams,
and endeavours to live the life which he has
imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected
in common hours. He will put some things behind,
will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal,
and more liberal laws will begin to establish
themselves around and within him; or the old laws
be expanded, and interpreted in his favour in a more
liberal sense, and he will live with the license of
a higher order of beings. In proportion as he
simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will
appear less complex, and solitude will not be
solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness
weakness. If you have built castles in the air,
your work need not be lost; that is where they
should be. Now put the foundations under them.”

~*~Henry David Thoreau

*****************

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
