POEM SUCCESS, BY RALPH WALDO EMERSON - to laugh often and much....
Motivational Poems About Life
"SUCCESSby Ralph Waldo Emerson
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." I love Ralph Waldo Emerson, and I quote him a lot.This is a short inspirational poem. I have it taped on my board. I found it at the church sale today, but the cardboard plaque was too large so i typed it on here.

lots of stress even today. woke up feeling great. slept in both rooms, spare/garden room and bedroom. dyed my hair. went to church sale. andrea was there and having cat troubles, so meeting her to give her medication for him. it may not help as many cats get balding legs and fur at this time of the year, some of it is seasonal and some of it is from lawn chemicals. everyone always assumes its parasites. not always. our firm was audited and they sent over a a schedule the he claims he copied from our board. its not. its from 2011. grrrr. then he says, its what was in the computer. this guy really loves talking on the phone. he talks you out. came close to blowing up at him again. wth. he caught jerk off by the office again, hmmmm on a saturday? after 180 days no one can file anything from work one way or the other. i don\'t agree with his way of handling any of this so far. the old way is, you terminate, if they file, you bring them back with crap hours and then they quit. doesn\'t always work, but that is this company\'s way. he wants to \"try it\" his way. love this. we go through a few of these new area mangers every two years, how about stick with whatever is there already, if you find it doesn\'t work after being here a year or two, THEN try something else? wth? the manager above him thinks its amusing. marvelous.
we are having great weather today. was drizzling again last night but nothing much. the tiger cat at br\'s is still missing.

Thanks for sharing
went to br\'s after the garden club shin dig, and guess what, yay!! the tiger cat is back and skinny too. what in the world is going on. thank god, br will be back soon. what did someone bring him inside and not buy cat food or is someone taking the animals somewhere in a trap and they are making it back to br\'s house?
also the aloe i replanted for br, that was dying because the pot was too small, it is now twice the size it was and very green. i\'m proud. i\'m not much of a gardener.
Oh, this work situation is awful! I hope you get some break from all of that stress when you away from work. Sheesh! Catching up *HUGS*
\"To earn the appreciation of honest critics and
endure the betrayal of false friends\" -- this is the one i\'m dealing with today, that friggin stalker from the animal rescue that used to be at pet smart ten years ago, is at it again. i think this time, i\'m going to let others handle this. jm offered to and so did government from down south AND up north. i am totally amazed it continues. she must have a really boring life to have so much time on her hands to cause trouble. chain gang would keep her busy. it should have been handled twenty years ago as around here, they claim she has been breaking into houses and cars and making prank calls for that long!! i didn\'t even live here back then, but i heard about it as soon as i moved here 13 years ago and i didn\'t believe it because it sounded so unlikely that an old woman would act like that. it would be bad behavior even if she was a teenager. she is definitely at least in her sixties and they claim bipolar/schizophrenic. i don\'t care WHAT she has. i\'m DONE with this. my friends claim she has been stalking me for 12 years. wth? i wasn\'t even \"officially\" a rescue back then and no, she has no idea at all who i am. she\'s just CRAZY!
this time she is using mr to do this, so its betrayal of false friends. wth? i have never even MET this old woman from the other rescue and i\'m tired of dealing with it. also the woman from Maine who rented seasonally by br\'s house, CLAIMED the same thing! she feeds strays, so immediately the drunk from across the street started harrassing her and then she brings over the total whacko from the rescue...the longer this goes on the more i think the police are right, that \"rescue\" is a bunch of thieves and they are \"using\" the mask of rescue to commit crime. nothing else.
