You'r Not Reading This By Accident
This is meant for you.
I wish you love.  I wish you joy.  I wish you happiness.
May you wake every morning looking forward to your day and put your head down every evening tired and satisfied.
Your life is too short to wonder what could have been.  Instead, wonder, ‘What next?’
Be kind to the people around you and love them even when they make you mad.

Tip your servers and help them to have a better day.
Be gracious to the elderly.
Spread love.
