"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect
of intelligent persons and the affection of children;
to earn the approbation of honest citizens 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...that is to have succeeded."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson~

Recently someone referred to Delights of the Heart as Pooh's Thotful Spot. So this morning I visited Pooh and this is the quote he shared with me.
Just last week I commented my camellia's were not blooming much. I am laughing now because they have burst forth in a beautiful array of pinks, red, and white. What a JOY to behold. What is bringing laughter and joy to your heart today?
I will announce my "this and that" give away on Friday and the winner will be announced on Monday, which will be my 700th post.
