Quote #44: Gina Wilson

Hi, Gina Wilson here! As an assistant professor at Central Michigan, community volunteer, mother of two teenagers and member of the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition its seems I am always bouncing and moving from one thing to the next! A quote that helps me to practice gratitude and presence is by Maya Angelou. “What a beautiful day! I’ve never seen this one before.” The reason I find this quote so meaningful is because it reminds me that although days can seem familiar, routine, and repetitive and busy—each day is unique and fresh yet fleeting. This quote supports my wellbeing as it challenges me to be grateful and present in the moments that seem mundane moments but are truly precious and meant to be savored. So, let’s collectively met each day as one we have never seen before—exited at the possibilities it brings and grateful for the opportunity to live it! This has been brought to you by the Midland Area Wellbeing Coalition's Quotes to Live By Series. Thank you reading.
