The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone. ~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Three Questions, April 4, 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?

There were really two things, some beautiful pink flowers on my walk as well as just a gorgeous day looking over the ocean in Pacifica.

What did I learn today?

To prevent digital eye strain, every 20 minutes, take a 20 second break and focus on something 20 feet away.

What made me happy today?

Had a nice long meeting with someone I mentor today, it was a really great conversation. Also, this week was spring break, so for the most part it’s just managers and classified staff on campus. Made me happy that a lot of them came by to chat, they know my name, they were asking about my leave and surgery. I take a lot of pride in treating them as equals, made me happy to see how much they seem to appreciate it.
