May you find serenity and tranquility
in a world you may not always understand.
May the pain you have known
and the conflict you have experienced
give you the strength to walk through life
facing each new situation
with optimism and courage.
Always know that there are those
whose love and understanding will always
be there --- even when you feel most alone.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch and
a warm smile be yours every day of your life
and may you give these gifts
as well as receive them.
Remember the sunshine when the
storm seems undending;
teach love to those who know hate,
and let that love embrace you as you go into the
world.
Remember those whose lives you have touched,
and who have touched yours are always a part of
you ---
even if the encounters were less than
you would have wished.
May you not become too concerned
with material matters, but instead....
place immeasurable value on the goodness in your
heart.
Find time in each day to see the beauty
and love in the world around you;
realize that each person has limitless
abilities,
but each of us is different in our own way.
What you feel you lack in the present
may become one of your strengths in the future.
May you see your future as one filled with
promise and possibility.
Learn to view everything as a worthwhile
experience.
May you find enough inner strength
to determine your own worth by yourself
and not be dependent on another's
judgements of your accomplishments.
May you always feel loved.
AND THAT IS MY WISH FOR YOU!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, MY FRIEND!
