I am writing this With Love on Monday, the day of Ben Carroll's funeral and I am

pondering the question, "Just what makes a full and successful life?"  Some might

say that if one lived lone it would be full and successful but even though living long

is desirable; it does not speak to the quality of life.  For this reason, I have devised five

things that I believe are signs of a full and successful life.  Keep in mind that this

is only my opinion plus two dimes and one nickel is worth a quarter.  That said,

here are the five things I think are signs of a full and successful life.

                                                                                                              1.  You laughed a lot.

                                                                                                              2. The people around you laughed a lot.

                                                                                                              3. You spent much time doing things you enjoyed.

                                                                                                              4. You did and saw many things.

                                                                                                              5. The people who loved you, though saddened at

                                                                                                                  your death were pleased to know you had gone to

                                                                                                                  be with Jesus,
