About

If you find happiness in simple pleasures And see the rainbow, not the falling rain, If you have faith to keep right on believing In miracles that no one can explain . . . If you look until you see the good in others And keep your spirit free, Then you'll be not just happy and successful, But the woman only you were meant to be. (Poem by Emily Matthews)

Favorite saying

• "“Is anybody happier Because you passed their way? Does anyone remember That you spoke to them today? This workday will be almost over, And its toiling time is through: Is there anyone to utter now A friendly word for you? Can you say tonight in passing With the days that slipped so fast, That you helped a single person Of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing over what you said? Does one whose hopes were fading Now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day, or lose it? Was it well or poorly spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness Or a scar of discontent?"
