The moments of happiness we enjoy take us by surprise. It is not that we seize them, but that they seize us. ~ Ashley Montagu

Three Questions, December 9, 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 think I experienced today?

The most beautiful thing I experienced today was the look, smell and taste of the homemade lasagna I pulled out of the oven for dinner.

What did I learn today?

I learned a lot today, today was showcase day. The day when students in our Barbering, Cosmetology and Esthetics programs display their talents for family, school folks and employers. It’s the culminating day of their one year program. So every year, I learn a lot from them on this day, probably the coolest thing today though was a finger wave technique one of the students showed me.

What made me happy today?

What made me happy today was getting to play with one of my little friends. One of my faculty have a small daughter who is two. We refer to her as the Predator, from the scify movie. It originally started as a joke due to her ultrasound image but has turned out to be a bit prophetic. She’s absolutely wild and for the first time the other day she called me by my name to everyone’s surprise. She came to visit today and we spent time doing races in the hall and chasing and scaring each other. Then she shut me down so she could go watch the Grinch.
