Yuan

Happy 9th birthday, Yuan!

Our prayer is, aside from good health and good days:
for you to live an inspiring, wholesome, purpose-filled life, 
that you love every minute of it, 
and that you retain what it takes to live it, chiefly: deep faith, love, courage, discipline and gratitude.

We love you, yuanski!

"Some people turn a year older and suddenly start asking, 'Where am I? How did I get here? And by the way, how do I go back?'

"But not us. We've got our bearings, and we're right where we should be - at our best, right smack dab between experience and possibility, and perfectly positioned for a great new year of you and me"*

Happy birthday to us!
