Blessing for the New Year
I
hope for you in this new year of 2004
That
the single, most significant dimension of life
is
your relationship with the Source of Goodness
who
never ceases to sing love songs to your soul
That
you find meaning, purpose, and vitality
in
what you do daily
That
you treasure your loved ones
and
let them know how dear they are to you
That
you make choices and decisions
that
reflect your truest self
That
you look in the mirror at least once a day
and
smile in happy amazement
That
you remember relationships are what count above all else –
more
than work or money,
or
all the material things we spend so much time tending
That
you live in an uncluttered manner,
enjoying
the freedom to be content
That
you keep your sense of humor
when
things don’t go the way you want
That
you find adventure in each new day
and
marvel at the wonders of creation
which
constantly present themselves to you
That
you never give up on yourself
when
others turn away or do not understand
That
you are attentive to the health
of
your body, mind and spirit
That
you take risks and accept the growth-full challenges that come to you
That
you draw on your inner strength and resiliency
when
you are in need
That
you carry peace within yourself,
allowing
it to slip into the hearts of others
so
our planet becomes a place
where
violence, division, and war are no more
