Welcome to a hit of hope.

May your love and your joy ripen daily.

May you praise as often as you can and find fault as little as you can.

May you care more about being happy than being right.

May you learn to let go of should have been and open to what is being given.

When times are good,

May you be grateful and know that nothing lasts.

When times are tough,

May you laugh and know that nothing lasts.

When times are good,

May you hug and love and celebrate.

When times get tough,

May you perform small acts of mending and expect positive outcomes.

When times get really tough,

May you begin again and fail better.

Love is a decision.

You have to choose it again and again.

May you pick your verbs wisely.

Love,

Connect,

Welcome,

Care,

Endure,

Grow,

Savor.

May you love fiercely because this all ends.

Because you only get this one life.

Unless you believe in reincarnation,

But even then you want to live and love well because otherwise you will come back as a chair or a platypus and be very confused about your identity your entire life.

May this be the day that leads you to happiness and joy.

May you remember that with any love story,

It's what you put into it that brings about the happily ever after.

May blessing upon blessing fall upon you now and forever.

Namaste.

Reincarnate as a chair, never thought of it as becoming an inantimate object. I'd rather make it the best 1st time around๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿ˜‰

Platypus sounds really bloody good right about now! You are creating a lovely and unique space within the plethora of fairly homogenous contributions (bless their heart ๐Ÿ™!) with these sharings. Keep going!
