This day in.......


This day in 1882 Ralph Waldo Emerson died. Find out more about him at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Waldo_Emerson

Here are some quotes by him -

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Make the most of yourself, for that is all there is of you.

Tis the good reader that makes the good book.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

To be great is to be misunderstood.

As soon as there is life there is danger.

The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.

A wee bit about me...

My photo
Hazel
I worked for many years as a Nursery Nurse specialising in literacy work in the Craigmillar area before returning to University to study for a BA in Community Education. I'm now back working in education but writing is still my biggest passion. It's what I've always wanted to do so we'll see where my paths leads me. I think words are what make the world go round! Being a mum is the most challenging job I have ever done but by far the most rewarding. I really enjoy writing about parenting and life is never dull with a young boy around to keep me on my toes. There's always something to chat about! Whether you find it interesting or not is up to you.
