If you want to be happy, be. ~ Leo Tolstoy

Three Questions, December 7, 2024

You can find the background to The Three Questions in my recent post about it. I’ll be answering the questions each day for the next year and putting this experience into a book. Here we go!

What was the most beautiful thing I encountered today?

The most beautiful thing I saw today was what I got to watch outside my living room window on the deck. I have a hummingbird feeder and while taking it easy today I got to lay on my couch and watch the ongoing battles between the hummingbirds being territorial around my feeder.

What did I learn today?

Today I learned something very specific in regards to pan roasting vegetables. I’ve never done it before and I have some green tomatoes, the last remnants of this years garden. I didn’t want to make fried green tomatoes so I’ve decided to roast the green tomatoes and decided to roast some other vegetables with them. I’ll test it all out tomorrow.

What made me happy today?

In a sense what made me happy today was nothing. It was a nothing kind of a day, after my long day yesterday, and the stress of the last three weeks related to my health, today I needed a break. So what made me happy today was the lack of any schedule or commitments, but just a lazy day watching football and eating good food.
