I've done this for the past 2 years now:
My family and I have this tradition of posting our new years wishes and prayers in this cute little zen box. Every year I post what I wished the year before as promised.

A wedding reading
An excerpt from “The Prophet” by Khalil Gabran You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. You shall be together when the white wings of death scatter your days. Ay, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. But let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of...

Mad to Love: The Friend Zone →
corycopeland:
There is a place—a treacherous place—where the soul is sucked dry and the will to live is exhausted beyond comprehension. I’m talking about a place that breaks a man’s wits into kindling and moves a woman to deeply consider the nunnery. I speak of a barren waste of space that no right-minded…
