Yesterday, my daughter had a graduation/going away party (she’s starting college at summer session in a couple of weeks) here with her friends. She insisted on a 1970s theme. The kids went all out. Their outfits were amazing. So was my husband’s. He got all decked out as John McEnroe. Unfortunately though, most of the kids didn’t get his costume. Most of the kids didn’t know who John McEnroe was – not even the tennis team kids. John McEnroe is 63 years old. Sigh.
One of my daughter’s friends bought her a compass bracelet. It was wrapped around a card that said this:
The Adventure Begins
Behind you, all of your memories.
Before you, all of your dreams.
Around you, all who love you.
Within you, all you need.
Friends, we are starting new adventures all of the time, whether we are 18 or we are 63. Stay in tuned with your compass. It will never steer you wrong.
Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
