your beauty is forever, sis. happy birthday.
Make me an instrument of Thy peace
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Where there is injury, pardon
Where there is error, the truth
Where there is doubt, the faith
Where there is despair, hope
Where there is darkness, light
And where there is sadness, joy
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console
To be understood, as to understand
To be loved as to love
For it is in giving that we receive
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life

we arrive on the planet for a great adventure. with each trip we will be great teachers to someone somewhere. we will touch lives and change the paths for many people and we will have no idea when it’s happening. that is why we must always do our best and always be kind. i don’t know why and i’m not sure how it works but i’m now clear on the rules.
