"If you learn to respond
as if it’s the first day in your life
and the very last day,
then you will have spent this day very well."
- David Steindl-Rast
At the start of life, a little beyond the first day, we are full of wonder, curiosity, and enthusiasm. So if we act upon today's quote, we will likely tap into those qualities. Or, perhaps you have different imaginings and memories of yourself as a newborn and young child.
As I imagine the end of life, I see myself approaching death like my mother did, which was with gratitude, peace, and hope.
However you respond to the quote, and, whether or not you take the challenge, I hope this day will be meaningful and memorable, filled with gratitude, joy, wonder, and love.
With reverence, too,
Charlene
