"Try to keep your soul young and quivering
right up to old age, 

and to imagine right up to the brink of death
that life is only beginning.
I think that is the only way 
to keep adding to one's talents
to one's affections, and one's inner happiness.
- George Sand

Yes. May we try - and succeed - at keeping our souls quivering with childlike awe and wonderment at life, at the world, at nature...at everything.

As we grow and age, may we keep our minds open to different ways of seeing, to new understandings, and to fresh-start beginnings.

May we keep our "talent-tree" growing and blooming, season by season, as we are renewed in spirit, year after year.  

And to support these intentions, as we wake from sleep each day, let's say "Yes" to Life.

With love and gratitude,
Charlene
