of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to
appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the
world a little 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 the meaning of success."

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The face on that man looks like you helped him breathe easier - you're a success today.
RedHedd that is a beautiful poem. I had never heard that one before, thanks for sharing. You are right, I think Kim and Pouncer did make life a little nicer for that man.

Kim, I think it's great you are making this effort. More scritchies and praises for Pouncer.
