Success
By Ralph Waldo Emerson
To laugh often and much;
to win the respect of intelligent people
and 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 that by Ralph Waldo Emerson!!!! Sometimes we equate success with things that aren't really important at all don't we.
Love the soup recipe. Yes, this is soup weather! When Dad and I walk mornings we really have to bundle up now! No snow yet but soon I'm sure.
Good quote!
Wow!! Great post, Suzy!! See you next week.
