I’m a big fan of making the most of life and one of my favorite quotes is one by Hunter S. Thompson that goes, “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!”   I also love a stanza in a poem by Mary Oliver that says, “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.”  But I’ve seen those quotes so many times on Facebook that I wanted to come up something else that would help me remember to make the most of every day.  That’s when I found this new one, by Theodore Roosevelt.  It’s short and simple statement offers a great visual that reminds me that I’d far rather wear out than rust out.  What about you?  Do you have any great quotes that remind you that every day is both a gift and an adventure?  Please share in the comments.
