What a grand experience..

I've read plenty of definitions of success but the best one that I've always liked is the one by Ralph Waldo Emerson:

To laugh often and love much,
to win the respect of intelligent persons,
and the affection of children;
to earn the approbation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others;
to give 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 --
this is, to have succeeded.

The best thing that I liked about this is to LAUGH OFTEN and LOVE much!

Hooray for 2012!

The world will supposedly end on December 21 (It's Ivy's birthday!). How's that going for me? I don't care about that fact! I'm so busy having the "time of my life" (What a cliche!). Everything is going swell. I've been to places I've never thought I've enjoyed being there.

Plus my son (the light of my life, may I add) is growing up so fast. He's turning 6 sooner than I want. He's entering middle childhood. I have to work harder on his formation. It's difficult teaching values to a kid because I'm not that a great of an example. But there's good news though! Basti is starting to read Pinocchio on his own. Yahoo! He is also currently on letter F words on his picture dictionary.

Thank heavens for the internet which feeds my current addiction. Bow.
