Embrace joy
and gratitude.

Miracles happen
because that

is what
miracles do,

and life
unfolds in

unexpected
ways because

that is what
life does.

We add megadoses
of imagination,

hope,
willingness,

faith and
our own

version of
stubborness

Then we work
to accept

the love that
surrounds us

and give thanks
we are not alone.
