Wishes

May 2014 be the year we all...

laugh like 2 year olds

cry for someone else

reach out with willing hands

find one true treasure

make a new friend

find time for simple pleasures

step toward our dreams

love with all our hearts

inspire someone

take a risk that scares us

give hope where it's needed

create something magical

believe
 
Best wishes for you all!

This is so much better than a standard goals list. This is very beautiful and I hope to do many of these things.

Alex J. Cavanaugh said...

Now those are awesome.
I'd add forgive and forget.
May we do that and more this year.

Yvonne Osborne said...

I've always thought it would be inspiring to teach. You have so many opportunities to do all these things. Maybe all of us do...we just have to look in the right places. I would second Alex. And may we who want to be published reach that most lofty of goals. Thanks

Natalie Aguirre said...

Love your list. Happy New Year, Jemi. Wishing you an awesome year.

Suzie F. said...

To smile at a total stranger for no apparent reason. It's free and it always makes us feel good. Don't you think? :)

And a very Happy New Year to you too, sweetpea!

Hey Jemi,

That's a very thoughtful list. Let's rejoice in the wonder of our inner child. Would make 2014 such a momentous year.

I would add, celebrate in the diversity of an all different, all equal world.

In peace for 2014 and beyond.

Jemi Fraser said...

Gary - thank you. I love the addition! If kids were in charge, that acceptance and joy in diversity would be prevalent! :)

Sharon K. Mayhew said...

That was beautiful, Jemi!!!!

2014 brings a new stage in our lives. Our daughter finishes high school and moves away for college. It's happy, sad, scary and exciting. I have to remind myself that my husband and I enjoyed our lives first the first 10 years of marriage before her and we will continue to when she is off having her own life away from us. (gulp)

Jemi Fraser said...

Sharon - ACK!!! That's such a scary & exciting stage! My kids both stayed close for college (yay!!) but one has moved out and the other is saving up (boo!). I really like a full house of kids & chaos! All the best to you!

Carol Kilgore said...

Absolutely beautiful. And I wholeheartedly agree!

Happy 2014!

Jemi Fraser said...

Thank you Carol - so glad you enjoyed :)

Lisa Gail Green said...

Shelley Sly said...

This is beautiful, and such a great reminder that sometimes the unexpected or overlooked things are what make a difference. Very well said! Happy New Year!

Jemi Fraser said...

Lisa - awww - thank you! :)

Shelley - life is definitely made up of the little moments!

Thanks Leslie! Hoping all the same for you! :)
