"I'm reading this for its historical value and its significance to our family: my father-in-law, Judson Doyle, served aboard the Meredith during WWII and was one of the survivors when it was sunk. Our daughter is named in honor of the vessel." — Aug 30, 2015 01:31PM

“This year, mend a quarrel. Seek out a forgotten friend. Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust. Write a letter. Give a soft answer. Encourage youth. Manifest your loyalty in word and deed. Keep a promise. Forgo a grudge. Forgive an enemy. Apologize. Try to understand. Examine your demands on others. Think first of someone else. Be kind. Be gentle. Laugh a little more. Express your gratitude. Welcome a stranger. Gladden the heart of a child. Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth. Speak your love and then speak it again.”
