"I thought that the secret of life was obvious: be here now, love as if your whole life depended on it, find your life's work, and try to get a hold of a giant panda. If you had a giant panda in your backyard, anything could go wrong... and if you could look outside and see this adorable, ridiculous, boffo panda, you'd start to laugh; you'd be so filled with thankfulness and amusement that everything would be OK again." -Anne Lamott, 'Hard Laughter'
