May this fresh year hold

belly laughs and giggles,

wide-eyed wonder,

shivers of boundless joy,

courage and curiousity,

trust in yourself,

tenderness with others,

strength to feel big emotions and breathe through them,

bravery to ask for what you need,

daydreams,

adventure,

stillness and quiet,

growth and health,

stories,

snuggles,

friendship,

sleep,

climbing,

singing,

reaching,

swinging,

running,

dancing,

learning,

an abiding knowledge of how loved you are,

and another year of becoming more fully YOU.

I will never get over the miracle of you.

Amen.
