“I wish for you a life of wealth, health, and happiness; a life in which you give to yourself the gift of patience, the virtue of reason, the value of knowledge, and the influence of faith in your own ability to dream about and achieve worthy rewards.” -Jim Rohn (Emanuel James ‘Jim’ Rohn (1930 - 2009)) at https://www.JimRohn.com
I will not wish thee riches,
nor the glow of greatness,
but that wherever thou go
some weary heart
shall gladden at thy smile,
or shadowed life
know sunshine for a while.
And so thy path shall be
a track of light,
like angels’ footsteps
passing through the night.

A Toast to Us
A toast to us, my good round friends,
To bless the things we eat;
For it has been full many a year
Since we have seen our feet.
Yet who would lose a precious pound
By trading sweets for sours?
It takes a mighty girth indeed
To hold such hearts as ours!
By Wallace Irwin (1875 - 1959)

Cards do not need to be expensive or elaborate, and a simple, ‘All The Best From All Of Us,’ with the signature of each person in a family, workplace, church, team, class, and so forth, might prove to be the very best in an offering of goodwill and friendship. Hand-made cards are often cherished more by recipients than commercially-made cards.
Have a beautiful life.
