Hi, I’m Carie. I write daily posts about navigating these times.
Jane Goodall — “Hope requires action”
“Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other.”
Jane Goodall
The joy of nothing special
I remember being in my early 20s and walking an octogenarian to her car. She moved so slowly. I tried to be patient. But I was annoyed, in a hurry, ready to move on with my day. And just steps before we made it to her car, she looked up and noticed a tree. I was frustrated. But I listened to her marvel, and I also looked up. For the first time that I remember, I slowed down enough to notice something beautiful during an ordinary day.

My Kindle lets me see passages that I’ve highlighted over the years all in one place. I read this book a few years ago. This quote still hits.
