Great Quote

I read this quote for the first time the other day and really, really liked it. I thought you might like it too {I know it's a little reminiscent of the theme for my Thankful Thursday post the other day, but you just can't get enough of this kind of stuff}:

Normal day, let me be aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you before you depart. Let me not pass you by in quest of some rare and perfect tomorrow. Let me hold you while I may, for it may not always be so. One day I shall dig my nails into the earth, or bury my face in the pillow, or stretch myself taut, or raise my hands to the sky and want, more than all the world, your return. {Mary Jean Iron}

Enjoy the weekend!
