I'm A Survivor

QUOTE: Success, 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 little 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 the meaning of success."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

  Thank you Sharon, for welcoming me to JLand... I read about you in the about me section of your journal... Wow... The name of your Journal says it all!... You are truly a survivor... I don't know why some people in life just seem to get hit with everything, while others seem to glide by without a scratch... That's one of the many mysteries to life, I guess... One thing is for certain... How we go about dealing with it can either save us or destroy us... You seem like someone who enjoys life regardless of what gets in her way... I like the fact you are using your journal as another tool to help you in your struggle with life's difficulties and also to share the joy you experience in life... To me, that's what a journal is all about... To express who you are and what you feel, in a truthful, unadulterated way, if that's how one chooses to use it... After all, if we are to be truthful with others, we are to be truthful with ourselves first... Thank you again, Sharon. ~ Journey
