Love this approach to life… to live as if each day is our first. ❤️💜 In my case right now, since I’ve been up since the weee hours, I will soon welcome slumber as if this night is my first💜

I love this idea of approaching life as if each day is my first. That definitely feels more hopeful with more potential for possibility. Thank you, Maija.

I participated in a journaling circle last year that centered around Mary Oliver's The Summer Day. We were to write for 5 minutes about anything that struck us from the poem. For me, it was the words "I don't know how to pay attention." What came out of that writing was the awareness that I do know how to pay attention and in those moments my life comes alive. And there's that word again ... "alive."
