Here's some Blessings for my beloved friends :

To Kak Noor Suraya, My Favourite and Most Admired Author,

May flowers always line your path and sunshine light your day.
May songbirds serenade you every step along the way.
May a rainbow run beside you in a sky that's always blue.
And may happiness fill your heart each day your whole life through.

To Julian, My Best Friend and Jedi Master

May you have warm words on a cool evening,
a full moon on a dark night,
and a smooth road all the way to your door.

~Irish Toast

To My Good Self, A Padawan Learner

May those that love us, love us.
And those that don't love us,
May God turn their hearts.
And if He doesn't turn their hearts,
May He turn their ankles
So we will know them by their limping.
