...and I hope you...

watercolor

“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.

And I hope,
somewhere in the next year, 
you surprise yourself.”

― Neil Gaiman
