We--all of us--have been made for goodness. We have been made for laughter. We have been made for caring, sharing, for compassion for we do indeed inhabit a moral universe. Yes, goodness is powerful.

Desmond Tutu

. . .

To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children...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 that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived: this is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

. . .

Love shared anywhere transforms situations everywhere. Your life is your corner of the garden; tend to that and you tend to the world

Marianne Williamson

Fail.

 

I'm over at Segullah today, writing about failure and its lessons.  Do stop by and even share a story, if you're so inclined.

Loved what you wrote - made me happy to see your name up there this morning. Well done, you.

I wanted to share my story of how my bathing suit failed me--age 10, at the top of a slide, with about 10 kids behind me, waiting in line for their turn. At the top, I paused to pose and prolong their wait, and initially took delight in their giggles, until I realized that they were giggling at my exposed backside... it's a childhood memory that I wonder if I'd live differently if I could do it over again.

The thread didn't seem to be going in a direction to support wardrobe failures.
