Here's to you!

I've been rather quotes-y lately, but I had to post another.

My good friend Liz Tufty gave me an outstanding Starbucks tumbler not too long ago, and it has has the best combination of words spinning across it. Unfortunately, it broke, and I am going to return it, doubtful they have another...but I had to write down the contents somewhere:

Here's to starting the day together. To rushing in for five minutes or five hours. Here's to conversations over coffee, road trips, hatching plans. Gathering with friends, sharing stories, losing track of time. Here's to running a non-errand, to cooling off, warming up, and an afternoon with no agenda. Here's to ideas bubbling up. Your novel getting written in your favorite comfy chair. Rewarding yourself for the big presentation. Finding a bit of home on the road. Here's to holiday time. Father-and-daughter time, mother-and-son time, parking the stroller, cycling club, knitting club, ukulele club. Here's to being part of something, to sharing books, movies, vacation photos, new songs, old family recipes. To always saying what you want, wishing for yourself and for others. Here's to you
