“Don’t save anything for a special occasion. Being alive is a special occasion.” Mary Engelbreit, American artist and illustrator, popularized this line through her greeting cards and prints.
Life is happening right now, not later. Wear the good shirt, use the saved mug, call the friend, take the photo. If a volunteer project speaks to you, apply. Share a skill, plant trees, help in a classroom, learn from your hosts, and enjoy the small celebrations that come with showing up.
Saying yes to the present is a habit that fills ordinary days with meaning.
