A letter from Grandma

I came upon this letter sent from my grandmother I just have to share <3 I miss her so much and think of her every day. There is not one day that goes by where something happens and I want to tell her about it...I know she was so very proud of me and so I will continue on and do my best day by day.

Here is her letter: Wishes for Happines

It is sometimes believed that success is achieved by material things you aquire, that there's never the time in the fast upward climb to just "be"-you must always go higher. But REAL lastin success is not WHOM you impress. It's not something that's done just for praise - it's in making a quest to be always your best, putting balance and love in your days. For you'll find that it's true that it's not WHAT you do that determines your rise or your fall, but rather the way you approach every day, always to give it your all. It's so easy to tell when you've done a job well - for you fisnish each day with a smile. It isn't "success," it is true HAPPINESS that will make your life really worthwhile.

"I'm very proud of you and I love you very much. How lucky you are, you have your whole future ahead of you." Love Grandma
