One Day by David Nicholls

I seem to always cry at the thought of someone loving the things about me that I love about myself. 


Anywho I just finished One Day and boy WHAT a great book. Just great 


Update: i'm thinking about this book on May 8th, 2024 because I was writing in my One Line A Day journal and had the "oh no what if I need to save this margin because something crazy and life-changing happens on this day next year?" thought. That's why One Day is so awesome. A book constructed around the idea that a day is just a day until it's not just another day. My compulsion to record my daily life might end up teaching me really cool things about how intricately orchestrated God has made our lives. Who knows, maybe May 8th in 30 years will end up being the best day of my life. Maybe I'll have a kid on that day, have a student say something life-alteringly kind to me, or maybe something tragic will happen. Literally, whoooo knows. God does - which is awesome. Thank you God for books as great as One Day and thank you God for knowing what direction every passing year will lead us when taking inventory on any given date of the year.
