I just got this birthday card from my dad...
Daughter
a little birthday wisdom for you
Seek Joy
You'll find it everywhere.
In the tiniest of moments;
in the grandest of events.
Be Curious
By avoiding all risks, you risk living an empty life.
So reach out, again and again.
Give things and people a chance.
Create Peace
Within your own heart, where it counts most.
Remember what matters.
Forget what doesn't.
Let drama go its merry way without you.
Live Large
Because living life wholeheartedly
is sure to satisfy your soul.
Your one-of-a-kind,
deserves-every-good-thing,
meant-to-be-happy soul.
And most importantly,
Feel Loved
Because you are.
Absolutely and unconditionally.
Always have been.
Always will be.
More than you can possibly imagine.
Love Dad
He told me once that he picks the card with the fewest left, thinking it must be the most popular.
(I once got a "you're like a daughter to me" card.)
But this one is so perfect for me right now, he must've read it.
(I hope!)
