Three Questions, January 3, 2025

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 did I encounter that made me happy today?

Today the most beautiful thing I saw was a picture of a sunset and it reminded me of some of my favorite sunsets.

What did I learn today?

Actually today I learned quite a lot about Marilyn Monroe, listened to one of my favorite podcasts, The Rest is History, their episode on Marilyn Monroe was incredibly interesting. As was the one on one of my favorite topics, the Loch Ness monster, that I also listened to today.

What made me happy today?

Frankly, not much. I’ve been in a foul mood all day. Today was one of those days where the inherent selfish and inconsiderate nature of people really wore me down. But one thing that made me happy was getting a note from someone I care about deeply.
