Find ecstasy in life; the mere sense of living is joy enough. - Emily Dickinson
On this day in 1830, Emily Dickinson was born. In honor of that, I thought we should reflect on one of her quotes.
Though not an avid bible reader myself, I love Psalms 118:24 - This is the day that the Lord hath made; we should rejoice and be glad in it.
When you wake in the morning, are you excited to rise and greet the day? Do you anticipate your schedule, who you will see, what you will do?
No matter your attitude about how life came to be on this small rotating sphere making its way through the heavens, you have to admit what an amazing thing it is to live.
Consider a baby: One day, it didn't exist. Maybe it wasn't even a thought in his or her parents' minds. And the next day, there it is. And roughly nine to ten months later, it appears to the world as something brand new. Isn't that truly astounding? How can something seem to come from nothing?
Life is remarkable. Remarkable! And for that we should feel a sense of excitement. It seems Miss Dickinson had it right.
