May you find peace and tranquility in a world that does not always make sense.
May the sorrows you have suffered and the challenges you have encountered give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and hope.
Always remember there are those who love you and will be there for you,
even when you may feel all alone in the world.
May you discover enough goodness in others to believe that this world,
despite its shortcomings, is a beautiful place to be.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life,
both to give and to receive.
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending – storms always end in rainbows.
May the teachings of those you admire become part of you,
for every kindness you share spreads out like the ripples in a pond until it comes back to you again.
Find time in each day to see the beauty and love in the world around you.
Do not let the world make you cynical;
if you look with your heart you will always see that your future is one filled with promise and possibility.
Even our challenges are beautiful for they are what give us strength to become better and stronger.
Everything is a worthwhile experience - cobblestones in a path that make up our journey to forever. May you find the inner strength to see your own worth and the worth of those around you.
May you always love and be loved through the New Year and every year to come.
May the last year of this millennium be full of health, happiness, love, and peace
for each and every one of you and those you love.
Thank you for being part of my life.
