"Your life is an occasion. Live up to it!"
This is from Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. My son has made us watch it over and over, and I must admit, it is my favorite children's movie. I loved this quote.

This is my life in a nutshell. Fast-paced and busy one minute. Slow and boring the next. Complete with the daily dramas of the Dennis-the-Menace style Kid, the husband who wants to be in the Armed Forces again after years as a civilian, with me in the middle hanging on for dear life! DISCLAIMER: These are my views and do not represent the views of any organization mentioned. These are my words, unless otherwise noted, but the images are not necessarily mine.
About Me
- Andi
- I am a wife, full-time registered respiratory therapist, mom. When this challenge didn't prove to be substantial enough, I became a pre-med student. I hope to become a pulmonologist sometime before I reach retirement age! I have an addiction to science and expensive handbags, am loyal to a fault, and am the most driven person you will ever meet.
What is Success? by 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.

and the affection of children;
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;

"We Have Lived and Loved Together" Charles Jeffreys
We have lived and loved together
Through many changing years;
We have shared each others' gladness
And wept each others' tears;
I have known never a sorrow
That was long unsoothed by thee;
For thy smiles can make a summer
Where darkness else would be.
Like the leaves that fall around us
In autumn's fading hours,
Are the traitors' smiles that darken
When the cloud of sorrow lowers;
And through many such we've known, Love,
Too prone alas to range;
We both can speak of one love
Which time can never change.
We have lived and loved together
Through many changing years;
We have shared each others' gladness
And wept each others' tears.
And let us hope the future
As the past has been will be:
I will share with thee my sorrows,
And thou thy joys with me.
Through many changing years;
We have shared each others' gladness
And wept each others' tears;
I have known never a sorrow
That was long unsoothed by thee;
For thy smiles can make a summer
Where darkness else would be.
Like the leaves that fall around us
In autumn's fading hours,
Are the traitors' smiles that darken
When the cloud of sorrow lowers;
And through many such we've known, Love,
Too prone alas to range;
We both can speak of one love
Which time can never change.
We have lived and loved together
Through many changing years;
We have shared each others' gladness
And wept each others' tears.
And let us hope the future
As the past has been will be:
I will share with thee my sorrows,
And thou thy joys with me.
