Bam! Libraries for The Win —>

I am grateful for finding joy — and peace even — in the mundane. Cooking and watering my garden are two new joys. Who knew?

What’s the adult equivalent of being 10 years old and glued to a transistor radio hearing that your school is closed for a snow day?

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

Yes!! It’s why I go on a news fast regularly.

What are we looking at here? Question 2: When’s lunch?

Today I am grateful for Nancy’s Mexican street corn and her native great grandmother’s recipe. Roasted corn and a secret sauce of mayonnaise, sour cream, cheese, and Tajín. She won’t divulge other ingredients or amounts, and I’m not asking. Happy to live with the yummy final product.

I am grateful to wake up and see I’ve been granted another day.

You… livin’!!

Your favorite spy/espionage thriller? I’ll go first: The Eye of the Needle, Ken Follett.

I am grateful for a full night’s sleep. Yeeeeee haaaaaaaaa.

Today I am grateful for the freedom to be myself. As John Denver said: “The best thing you have to offer the world is yourself. You don’t have to copy anyone else.” Be yourself, be happy. (Psst. Nobody’s watching anyway.)

Heaven!’

“I’ve never trusted happiness. I never have, and I never will.”

Today I am grateful for my former business partner, Thomas W. Warrner. Tom took care of many of the daily operations while I was goofing off and scheming about big deals and alliances. Without Tom’s careful guidance, we would have been out of business a dozen times over the years. Thanks, Tom.

Today I am grateful for gratitude itself. Practicing gratitude becomes a happiness booster! Wow. Be grateful, get happy.

Today I’m grateful for advice from my father. One of my favorite pieces was: “Don’t be a fuckin’ Scrooge, Michael. Especially with your time. If you do something well, pass it on.” Thanks, Dad.

Imagine being the most powerful man in the world and being this much of a whiney victim BITCH.

Good god what a child

Today I am grateful for diners. Breakfast is usually my favorite meal, and a good diner always hits the spot. Bonus points if they know how to make real home fries and the waitress calls you “hon.”

And the book is?

Today I am grateful for… today. Why would you want to miss a minute of this?

I am grateful for Florida citrus. Right off the tree, this stuff is amazing. I shake my head — it’s soooo good I can’t believe it’s healthy.

Today I am grateful for once-in-a-lifetime experiences, especially if you’re able to recognize them as such.

Gratitude. Today I am grateful for learning about Stoic philosophy and focusing just on my teeny corner of the world. There’s so much I can’t control and I’m striving to be okay with that.

Today I am grateful for Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., a fellow Hoosier and my favorite author. I try to follow his advice when experiencing a happy moment. He suggests saying out loud: “If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.” Try it out sometime.

Best post of the day —>

The best thing in the world!
