Turning 40
It’s a brand new decade! What a life to define!
One day, turning 40 will be a memory just as was 30, 20, 16, 10.
What I pray won’t be memories is the love you hoped for
The family you prayed for, because the life you’ve built holds them close to you.
The goals you worked hard for, because they’ve paid you, fed you sheltered you.
The journey often feels longer looking forward than looking back, but never be afraid to take the first step.
Live for the life in your years, not the years in your life. Jump! Dive. Live!
In the absence of dreams, worry and sadness creeps in. So I pray that you...
Keep building, and loving and growing and giving. Keep dreaming and playing and dancing and singing. Keep planning and learning and caring and teach when you can.
Sleep more, laugh more, walk more.
Find the balance between water and cake.
For Heaven’s sake take care of your knees.
If you don’t know your worth, discover it. If you know your worth, OWN IT!
What’s possible in your life is determined by you - Think, Live and Be Positive.
Let every word that leaves your mouth be a blessing to others and leave them brighter.
Let life be less about making a point, and more about making a difference.
And as milestones become memories, and your dream realities, remember you were strong enough to make it through the worst of life, and that makes you strong enough time create the best of life.
A day more, a decade more. Whatever life has in store for you you. I pray you'll
