” I’m not telling you to make the world better….
I’m just telling you to live in it.
Not just endure it, not just suffer it,not just pass through it, but to live in it.
To look at it.
To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances.
To make work and take pride in it.
To seize the moment.”
Joan Didion
I am a huge fan of Joan Didion and her writing. Her book The Year of Magical Thinking was a gift to me after losing my mom. Her writing, if you have never read it, gets so deeply to the point.
I know, I do try to share inspiration to make our world better each week, however, this quote spoke to me so completely that when I read it I began to cry.
All we have is now and this moment. So let’s make the best of every one we have!
