Philosophy of Blogging

It is too easy to live one’s life as a series of big things (births, weddings, vacations, promotions, etc.) and bad things (illnesses, deaths, accidents, taxes, etc.) and overlook the wealth of small, wonderful things that happen all the time. I remember the bad things well enough without a written reminder, and I certainly don’t want to envision my life as a string of those events. That’s why I try to stay positive on this blog and focus on the everyday victories, beauties, and pleasures of life, like double rainbows and “nine squirrel days.”
