Blessed, everytime.

You know me and quote books. Well, I came across another one.. that my mom owns. After our low key St. Patty's Day celebration of golfing and grilling out with my parents, we were wiped.. less wiped than we would have been if we actually would have gone out, I'm sure. You know, day drinking in the sun will do that to you, no matter how chill the activity. In all reality, I have never raged on St. Patty's Day, besides the year we were in Cancun. That was fantastic. I can't count how many times people said to me that year, "You are the tannest Irish person I've ever met." I'm not Irish, you idiots. Anyways, back to the quote book! Before Joel and I fell asleep Saturday night, I realized this book sitting on the nightstand in my parent's guest bedroom, called May You Be Blessed. Let me break it down for you:) 

May you be blessed with all things good. 

May your joys, like the stars at night, be too numerous to count.

May your victories be more abundant than all the grains of sand on all the beaches on all the oceans in all the world. 

May lack and struggle only serve to make you stronger;

And may beauty, order and abundance be your constant companions. 

May every pathway you choose lead to that which is pure and good and lovely.  

May every doubt and fear.. be replaced by a deep abiding trust as you behold evidence of a higher power all around you. 

And when there is only darkness and the storms of life are closing in.. 

May the light at the core of your being illuminate the world. 

May you always be aware you are loved beyond measure and may you be willing to love unconditionally in return;

And when you are tempted to judge, may you be reminded that we are all one, and that every thought you think reverberates across the universe, touching everyone and everything. 

And when you are tempted to hold back, may you remember that love flows best when it flows freely;

And it is in giving that we receive the greatest gift. 

May you always have music and laughter;

And may a rainbow follow every storm. 

May gladness wash away every disappointment, may joy dissolve ever sorrow...

And may love ease every pain. 

May every wound bring wisdom and every trial bring triumph;

And with each passing day, may you live more abundantly than the day before. 

May you be blessed.

And may others be blessed by you. 

That just makes me want to live better. Not necessarily everyday, but every so often, stop and think about all the things you have to be thankful for and that you are blessed to have. Stop and really think. Make a list. Reference it. 

And now for a techno spin:) This girl has an amazing voice.
