Three Questions, April 14, 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?

Definitely the flowers on my walk today, some really lovely blue flowers and lots of flowers in blossom on a sunny day in the spring.

What did I learn today?

I read about an amazing Inuit woman, Ada Blackjack. She was on an arctic expedition and they left her behind to tend to a dying man. She was found for two years, taught herself to shoot, made her own clothes, fought off polar bears, a total badass.

What made me happy today?

After getting my deck cleaned up yesterday, today I took some time to just sit on the deck in the afternoon. I’ve realized I should be able to easily get in and out of my camp chair on the deck, so happy that I should be able to sit out on the deck during my recovery.
