I joyously bless the people who have touched my life.
Grandparents, parents, siblings, members of my extended family, teachers, friends, coworkers – every person I’ve known has, by his or her example, helped me feel more deeply what it means to be human. Some have encouraged my curiosity. Some have taught me life skills. Some have modeled positive attitudes and behaviors. Some have loved me fully and unselfishly. And some have helped me learn to love even when loving felt difficult.
Today I remember the people whose lives have touched mine. I pause to think kindly of each one as I savor memories of time we shared together. Whether we’re even now in one another’s lives, have lost touch, or are separated by death, I know our shared experiences continue to enrich our lives and deeply bless us on our spiritual journeys.
I joyously bless the people who have touched my life.
