Living the New Year fully

A Bright morning, a clear start to the New Year.

A nice quotation from Mary Oliver on getting the most out of each moment and each day:

When it's over, I want to say:
all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it's over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.

Mary Oliver, When Death Comes
