Life well spent is long.

Length is not counted only in years. A stretch lived attentively holds more in it than a longer stretch passed on autopilot, which is why some months stay vivid while whole seasons vanish without trace. Novelty, difficulty and care all thicken time; repetition thins it. What you can influence is less the number of your days than how much of each one you are present for.

Look back at last month and see how much of it you can still account for. If it has gone smooth and blank, put one unfamiliar thing into the coming week, however small. Attention is what makes a day leave a mark.
