I was looking for a present for a friend who recently retired and is looking forward to new adventures. What I found was two blank books packaged together, each decorated with a lovely quote.

They are perfect quotes for someone starting a new chapter in her life or for all of the rest of us, too.

“Show me a day when the world wasn’t new.” –Sister Barbara Hance

“Think of the world you carry within you.” –Rainer Maria Rilke
–Joy
