I first posted this blessing by Joyce Rupp in a post entitled Looking forward looking back in the last days of 2018, on the threshold of a new year. Rereading the words today, I think they are well worth adopting as a blessing for all our days / all our tomorrows.

Blessing … for today … tomorrow … whenever
I hope for you …
… that the single, most significant dimension of life
is your relationship with the Source of Goodness
who never ceases to sing love songs to your soul
… that you find meaning, purpose, and vitality
in what you do daily
… that you treasure your loved ones
and let them know how dear they are to you
… that you make choices and decisions
that reflect your truest self
… that you look in the mirror at least once a day
and smile in happy amazement
… that you remember relationships are what count above all else –
more than work or money,
or all the material things we spend so much time tending
… that you live in an uncluttered manner,
enjoying the freedom to be content
… that you keep your sense of humor
when things don’t go the way you want
… that you find adventure in each new day
and marvel at the wonders of creation
which constantly present themselves to you
… that you never give up on yourself
when others turn away or do not understand
… that you are attentive to the health
of your body, mind and spirit
… that you take risks and accept
the growth-full challenges that come to you
… that you draw on your inner strength and resiliency
when you are in need
… that you carry peace within yourself,
allowing it to slip into the hearts of others
so our planet becomes a place
where violence, division, and war are no more
