Birthday Gift

For my birthday my Mom gave me an awesome gift! Everyday this year in my life I am going to receive a page from her that I put into a notebook. It's been so much fun seeing the different notes I have gotten so far. I am always excited to find them!! Here is a quote that I got last night that I really love:

Use your eyes as if tomorrow you would be stricken blind. Hear the music of voices, the song of a bird, the mighty strains of an orchestra as if you would be stricken deaf tomorrow. Touch each object as if tomorrow your tactile sense would fail. Smell the perfume of flowers, taste with relish each morsel as if tomorrow you could never smell and taste again. Make the most of every sense, glory in all the facets of pleasure and beauty which the world reveals to you through the several means of contact which nature provides.

-- Helen Keller
