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.
