Do you ever feel like time is going by in the ‘blink of an eye’? On your birthday, I can imagine you will sit a while and contemplate on your past, your present and dreams for your future. The world awaits!
My darling Goddaughter, I am so very proud of you and your accomplishments. I love creating a card for you each year as it gives me another chance to tell you how much I love you. Your happiness is my greatest wish followed by good health.
Happy Birthday Brittany
Youth is not a time of life.
It is a state of mind
It is a matter of attitude
a quality of the imagination
a vigor of the emotions
a freshness and enthusiasm
for each and every day
I don’t know exactly what
you’ll be doing today
But I know you will enjoy
every moment
Brittany, you are a beautiful soul,
a treasured niece
and a very special Goddaughter
I love you so much
I hope that in the central place
of your heart, you will always feel
beauty and hope,
the love of wonder and
amazement for the stars.
I hope you will always have
a child-like appetite
for ‘the joy’ and ‘game of life’
Your Birthday is such a wonderful
reason to celebrate for
you are welcoming another year
with a brand new, clean canvas
It is up to you to create
something beautiful and give even more
meaning to your life
May today be the
start of something wonderful
as you begin
another trip around the sun.
Here’s to life, love and laughter
Wishing you the BEST
