the golden year

Images found {here}
Today I turn twenty-two on the twenty-second- the golden year. I woke up this morning more aware of the indescribable love of my God and family and friends than ever before. So thankful for twenty-two sweet years, my heart is very full today. A card I got this morning sums my feelings and hopes for the coming year:

"Walk in grace.
Be kind. Be wise.

See God's world with caring eyes.

Have a hopeful point of view.

Life is a gift."
