A Dream Within A Dream

Ask me anything   Endurance athlete, mixed martial artist, photographer, EMT, surfer, realist, complainer, patriot, wannabe poet.
This is my outlet--for words and thoughts--that few have heard me say or express. (Most writings are my own, unless otherwise noted.)
"What is success? To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; 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 even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; That is to have succeeded."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
