from my notebook: I WISH

I wish you the courage to be warm when the world would prefer that you be cool.
I wish you success sufficient to your needs;
I wish you failure to temper that success.
I wish you joy in all your days;
I wish you sadness so that you may better measure that joy.
I wish you gladness to overbalance your grief.
I wish you humor and a twinkle in your eye.
I wish you glory and the strength to bear its burdens.
I wish you sunshine on your path and health to carry you on your journey.
I wish you peace - in the world in which you live and in the smallest corner of you where truth is kept.
I wish you faith to help define your living and your life.
More I cannot wish you - except perhaps love - to make all the rest worthwhile.

this notebook is about four years old, so there.

Officially 26

today will be memorable. i woke up to friends serenading me. i dropped my dslr for the first time (that should mean something, right?). something in me died and something better sprang up in its place. i taught someone and learned from someone. i received rose-colored glasses. thank You, Lord for channeling Your love through so many beautiful people. please make me worthy of them.

special shout out to auntie Perla for this pair of shades that totally matched my shirt.
