May you love and be loved with abandon
May you give and receive mercy
May you grow in wisdom
May you practice compassion
May you get what you need, not what you want
May you know your calling and live it
May you seek peace
May you love justice
May you find and give acceptance
May light pierce your darkest moments
May you know and bring joy
May you recognize your God-given gifts and employ them for the good of all
And when you breathe your last in this world…
may you be satisfied with no regrets
Peace to you

Lovely words! Great sentiments! Congrats on reaching 100!!
Your post has me flashing back to a song, but I can’t quite put my finger on it… I think it was in that final performance by The Band The Last Waltz)? It’s the “May you…” part that really rings a bell somehow…

I don’t have a clue which song you may be referring to. 🙂

I looked it up… It’s the Bob Dylan song, Forever Young.
May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
[chorus]
May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
[chorus]
I think he used more than 100 words, though… 🙂

Hello Diana. I was drawn to your blog in my earliest of early days with your title “talk to Diana” (as I was, at the time, desperate to have someone to talk to) and its tagline “igniting the power and passion in others” (as I was yearning for something positive to do with my life). You have not let me down on either count as you ‘talk’ to me frequently and you continue to inspire me. Thanks for your blog posts every week and your cyber-friendship. Both mean a lot to me. Good luck with the next 100 posts. I’ll be here reading them.
