A Toast!

“Choose to focus your time, energy and conversation around people who inspire you, support you and help you to grow you into your happiest, strongest, wisest self.” – Karen Salmansohn

“O Lord that lends me life, lend me a heart replete with thankfulness.” – William Shakespeare

A toast!
To celebrating and encouraging others on our shared journey.
In both victory and defeat.
To generous souls who are with you at the start line, in the middle and at the finish.
To offering and receiving without hesitation, counting or measure.
To goals defined and attained.
To effort, resilience, exhaustion and the strength to keep moving two steps forward and one step back.
To progress and patience in the waiting.
To the capacity and calling to dream and imagine followed by the rigorous pursuit.
To special days and all of the ordinary days in between.
To embracing imperfect people and circumstances to create joyful moments.
A toast to grace, gratitude and generosity.

“We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.” – Thorton Wilder
