Tombstones


Lexington Cemetery
Lexington, Kentucky

This photo is from one of my favorite places to visit. Everyone visits this town for the shopping malls, I visit the cemetery every chance I get. One of my favorite quotes mentions that a true character of a man comes out in his passion and hobbies- not sure what this says about me. I was once mistaken for the funeral home help, though, to which my wife responded 'I can see that. You need to smile more.' :)

Time to repeat a favored poem of mine. Have a nice week.

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.
That is to have succeeded.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson~
