I just wanted to share something that my mother gave to me several years ago in a card she found. I feel it has helped me alot in life to remember where I need to be when hit with lifes ups n downs. Its a bit long but I always felt it is worth the read. Here goes. Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, And remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender Be on good terms with all persons... Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your career, however humble; its a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength in spirit To shield in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond the wholesome discipline, Be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe No less than the trees and the stars; You have a right to be here. And weather it is clear to you, No doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, Whatever your conceive Him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life Keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. -Max Ehrman- Tina Tisdale LeDuc, Craig Le Duc, Tyler Clem, Lolinda Tisi, Danette Arteago
