Life as Planned Quotes

“a thought starts with “if only” or “I wish” then strike it through and don’t dwell on it. Enjoy the moment, the air in your lungs, pain-free movement, movement at all! The changing seasons, a belly laugh, the sound of your children’s voices, birdsong, sunshine on your face, the shade of a tree! And books – read all the books. All the books! And above all, be thankful for every day that you see a rising sun, for one day it will be your last, and in that moment you’ll understand one thing – how very quickly it has all passed.’ She paused then. ‘Listen to me going on. Bet you wish you hadn’t asked.”
