My parents got me a card for my birthday. Mom said it is the kind of card I would get someone else so she bought it for me. Of course, I cried. I'm going to type out the whole card here so it'll be like giving it to all of you too.
Love yourself. MAKE PEACE with who you are and where you are at this moment in time.
Listen to you heart. If you can't hear what it's saying in this noisy world, MAKE TIME for yourself. Enjoy your own company. Let you mind wander among the stars.
Try. Take chances. MAKE MISTAKES. Life can be mess and confusing at times, but it's also full of surprises. The next rock in your path might be a stepping stone.
Be happy. When you don't have what you want, want what you have. MAKE DO. That's a well-kept secret of contentment.
There aren't any shortcuts to tomorrow. You have to MAKE YOUR OWN WAY. To know where you're going is only part of it. You need to know where you've been, too. And if you ever get lost, don't worry. The people who love you will find you. Count on it.
Life isn't days and years. It's what you do with time and with all the goodness and grace that's inside you. MAKE A BEAUTIFUL LIFE... The kind of life you deserve, the kind of life God has planned for you.
As I start the 23rd year of my life, I only hope that it continues to be a beautiful journey. The next time I post something I'll be back in Harrisonburg and the journey will really have begun! Love to you all. xoxo
Happy birthday Emmy. You are my sunshine. I love you.
