I love this. And so it is my thought for the day, my short gift to you.  Actually it’s Amy Tan‘s gift to you via my blog –

“People talk about this ‘bucket list’: ‘I need to go to this country, I need to skydive…’

“Whereas I need to think as much as I can, to feel as much as I can, to be conscious and observe and understand me and the people around me as much as I can,” she says, before giving a small smile.

“And I have times when I think, ‘Oh god, I have wasted this entire year on eBay.’”

Nice?
