As I have mentioned here before, last summer I made a list
of one hundred things in my life that have brought me
happiness. I thought it would be a good idea to post those
items here, one at a time, and write little love letter
blog posts to each thing. It will help me balance the tone
of my blog lately, as well as provide some positive energy
for myself. It is good to remember the things we enjoy, and
it is very good to share them
Hopefully, I can turn some of my readers on to joys that
they might not have otherwise discovered. That would be
really cool.
Some of the items are people I have met, like my friend
Phill. Sometimes it is a single song, like Tom Petty’s The
Waiting. And other times it is the entire output of a
single artist, like Paul Klee. Some of the items are
favorite memories, like banging on my Aunt Ella’s piano as
a three year old. Others are joys I continue to appreciate
at this time of my life, like banana cream pie.
Each of these things deserves at least a paragraph or two
describing its importance in my life. I hope you agree.
I won’t be posting them in any particular order. I’ll
simply write about the ones I’m in the mood to write about.
I plan to start tonight, so look for these entries to
appear now and then.
