Celebrating Another Year of Life
Here, at We Three Shanes, it is our hope that we may all live another year of life and that we can be thankful and blessed in all things.
May we learn to slow down and enjoy the moments as they come. May we learn to live with less so we can more greatly appreciate what we have. May we all give back and love one another the best way we know how.
I’m grateful to be alive today and to another year of existence.
