I came across this New Year’s blessing from Neil Gaiman many years ago.  I’ve always liked it.  A year filled with magic, dreaming, good madness, fine books, kisses, personal passion, and a surprise sounds wonderful.

I add to this, may your year be full of love and kindness, to yourself, to those around you, and to all living beings.

Happy New Year!

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”       – Neil Gaiman
