New Year's wish from Neil Gaiman

[wendyzski]

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art - write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. May your coming year be a wonderful thing in which you dream both dangerously and outrageously.

I hope it'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and you will be liked and you will have people to love and to like in return. And most importantly, because I think there should be more kindness and more wisdom? in the world right now - I hope that you will, when you need to be, be wise and that you will always be kind. And I hope that somewhere in the next year you surprise yourself."

I think I want to paint this on my wall

It's a combination of these, http://journal.neilgaiman.com/2009/12/wishes.html if you didn't know. It's just such a lovely sentiment. I think I am going to add it to my index card wall of happy things in my closet.

One of my favorite Neil Gaiman quotes (he said this at a booksigning many years ago) : "The BBC is sort of like a sausage factory. It doesn't matter what you put in one end, you always get Dr. Who out the other." XD

Thank you for passing this one on, Wendy. Neil says it all so well.
