I like the fact
that there is
nothing ordinary
about you.

You possess such strength
and beauty.

If you ever
see yourself differently,
be sure to let me know.
I can clear things up for you.

After all,
I am your biggest fan!

You are a work of art.
You are nature’s perfection.
You have every reason
to be elated on your
birthday.

I know a man who says
“every day I am on
this side of the ground,
it’s a good day”.

I think he’s got a point.
So celebrate,
and be happy!

Either way, it is fun
sharing this life experience
with you.

Though you haven’t
been a perfect saint;
those angels still
follow you around.

And they made no mistake.
You are one of God’s
greatest creations...
exactly the way your are!

So clear your mind
of all thoughts
and just be happy!

You deserve a break
from all of that,
genius.

Oh, huh, I guess that
far away land is your house,
and the fairy princess
is actually you.

I react to your delusions of youth
with episodes of escapism.
Ain’t it grand that
we found each other?
The whole ying and yang
of it all.

Love yah more than
my luggage, kid.

Oh wait, I guess that
far away land is your house,
and the fairy princess
is actually you.

Isn’t it great that we
believe in magic wands?!

I plan to use
the same magic wand when
my birthday comes around.

Love yah more than
my luggage, kid.

wolfie-12 Play

Free yourself
of all worries.

Eat something you love.
Sing and dance along with
your favorite songs.

Play some games.
Chew bubble gum.

Make a wish.
Then blow out all
of the candles.

So keep your
batteries charged
any way you need to.

After all,
you are the source
of light and support
to so many;
if you become drained,
everyone loses.

Make this year
a year of self-care,
and self-love.

The only person
you need to answer to
is you.

The only person
you need to satisfy
is you.

So play on this
birthday.
Play in a
super-sized way!

Please find time
to rest and reflect.

Grief is demanding
and relentless
until it is satisfied.

You have every right
to feel all of the
emotions that surface.

You deserve a birthday
overflowing with laughter,
light, and love.

When clouds block the sun
it is easy to forget
how the sunshine feels
on your skin.

Once the clouds pass
it's hard to remember
that for a while
the sun was gone.

Love brought you
into this world,
and love watches
over you.

The light of God surrounds you,
The love of God enfolds you,
The power of God protects you,
and the presence of God watches over you;
Wherever you are, God is,
and all is well.

Living your life
with joy in your heart
is the most any of us
can do.

But then again,
what more could there be?

May your burdens
be light,
and your path
be shared with
the love of
fellow travelers.

Someday soon,
you will emerge from
this time of difficulty.
You will see that the universe
did not cease to support you
even during the darkest of days.

Letting go of things
we believe we need
can be our
biggest struggle
in life.

However, it helps
when we choose
to surrender them
into the arms of love.

There are the masses,
and then
there is you.

Difficulties and losses
will likely take you
into the winter of your emotions.

Just as the tree appears to have
no signs of life in the wihter;
below the ground where eyes cannot see,
the tree's roots hold life.
Once the warmth of spring arrives,
the tree that appeared lifeless
buds and blooms with new life.
Now is the time to nourish your roots.
Spring will come and your
happiness will return.

God,
grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change.

The courage to change
the things I can,

and the wisdom
to know the difference.

It's the only thing
that makes another
birthday bearable.

I would only
do the British

and only because
it's your birthday.

Wow, dude,
I hope the world
looks as cool
to you today
as you do to me
through these
far out glasses.

We gotta try
everything in life
at least once.

Do something you've
never done before.

You know that's
what I like most
about you.

Your thoughtfulness
has touched me.

What's your secret?

Sometimes I pretend
you are right beside me,
and I wonder if you can
feel me thinking of you.

I didn't pick
this outfit.

Go ahead and laugh.
Wait until you taste
the way I christened
your cake.

include serene moments
and quiet joy.

When the day is over
and the vows

It will just be

And may this day

to your lifetime
together.

May your
"Champagne Wishes
and Caviar dreams"
come true.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much
seek to be consoled
as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
he leads me beside still waters;
he restores my soul.
He leads me in right paths
for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I fear no evil;
for You are with me;
your rod and your staff-
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the
house of the LORD
forever.

Everything about you
is magical.

Pity really.
Ignorance can be
such fun!

Art is all around us.
The timeless classics
are beautiful
without any effort.

You, for example;
you are one of nature's
masterpieces.

Understandable.
But just like the weather,
everything passes.

Just when we are about
to give up on winter passing,
the tulips begin popping through
the ground promising that
spring is coming.

Keep your face turned toward
the sky and your thoughts
on dancing in the moonlight.

I want your first dance!

Life can be so beautiful.
Life can be so beautiful.
Life can be so beautiful.
