Three Questions, March 18, 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 was the most beautiful thing I encountered today?

I saw a video today, a time lapse video of a sunflower opening up. It was really amazing.

What did I learn today?

Today I learned that PEZ were created in the 1920’s as a kick the smoking habit device because it resembled a lighter, but that completely failed. So the company pivoted, added cartoon heads and boom, success.

What made me happy today?

Today our colleges held forums for the finalist in our president’s search. What made me happy was seeing a really talented candidate give an inspiring presentation about why she should be our next president. It was really inspiring.
