When you love someone
Draw a circle around their name
Instead of a heart
Because hearts can be broken
But a circle never ends
We sent our bright beautiful daughter Kim
off to Seoul Korea for a year
She will teach kindergarten and be
the most wonderful teacher, as will Drew
Teachers are so special they know how to make
Little ones count!
Her and Drew will have the most amazing year there!
We are so proud of all of our children
They are bright beautiful young people
Again we would like to thank Drew's parents
For all they have done for Kim
A multitude of things
that we could never possibly repay them for
and for Kim's friends in Korea, for also
being of such help to her and Drew to get these jobs
Beautiful young people are acts of nature.
But beautiful old people are works of art.
The Desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater
and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
-- written by Max Ehrmann in the 1920s --
I wish you comfort...
the feeling that comes from knowing
how much others care for you,
the support of knowing there's
always someone you can call on
if you need to.
I wish you hope...
the strength that comes from knowing
that not even the deepest sadness can last forever,
the power that comes from believing
in the possibility that happiness lies ahead of you.
I wish you peace...
the calm that comes from trusting
in something beyond yourself,
the ease that comes from
surrendering worry and anxiety to a greater power.
These things I wish for you,
especially now.

It matters not what lies behind you
It matters not what lies before you
What matters is what lies within you!
