“Life feels precious. It is.”
― Katrina Kenison, Moments of Seeing: Reflections from an Ordinary Life

“When we focus on what is good and beautiful in someone, whether or not we think that they "deserve" it, the good and beautiful are strengthened merely by the light of our attention.”
― Katrina Kenison, The Gift of an Ordinary Day: A Mother's Memoir

“Education is experience, and the essence of experience is self-reliance.”
― T.H. White, The Once and Future King

“Not a day goes by that I don't still need to remind myself that my life is not just what's handed to me, nor is it my list of obligations, my accomplishments or failures, or what my family is up to, but rather it is what I choose, day in and day out, to make of it all. When I am able simply to be with things as they are, able to accept the day's challenges without judging, reaching, or wishing for something else, I feel as if I am receiving the privilege, coming a step closer to being myself. It's when I get lost in the day's details, or so caught up in worries about what might be, that I miss the beauty of what is.”
