It would be wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but particularly in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won't happen. We have to teach ourselves to live, really live...to love the journey, not the destination." But how to live from that perspective? To fully engage in our days?

I read it and loved it and promptly bought two more copies to give to friends! Quindlen presents a positive and though-provoking way of looking at life in a brief, easy to read format.

It really made me think about what is important in my life.
