"Few of us write great novels; all of us live them." - Mignon McLaughlin, writer
We do all live these great novels, don't we? I've sometimes found myself wanting to write a "great" novel. It may happen - one of my goals for 2012 is to write more and creating an outline for a book may just be one of the first projects I begin.
This quote leads me to think about just how amazing my life has been so far. I've been through highs and lows, some big crises and some small, yet it has all come together to bring me to this very moment in my life. Every good and bad experience has taught me something about myself and about life in general. There were times when I didn't want to learn some of the lessons that came my way, yet I accepted them anyway, knowing that all would be well in the end.
All has been well and I know it will continue to be so for as long as I am able to breathe. Whether I write a book or not, I will remember to appreciate this great novel of a life I have. It is a blessing and I do not want to ever forget that. I am grateful.
