In Thornton Wilder’s play Our Town, the central character dies an early death. Emily is given the chance to revisit a day of her life and is advised by those in the afterlife to pick an ordinary day, warning her that she might be overcome otherwise. Still, Emily is overwhelmed with emotion as she recognizes how wonderful the everyday details of her existence were. Her daily routine takes on new significance now that it is gone. Through her tears, she asks:
Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it– every, every minute?
With this blog, I am trying to fully “realize” my life by documenting the things that I love. I want to appreciate and examine my past and present, as well as plan actively for the future.
I hope to accentuate the positive in my life and in the world around me, with the hope that by focusing on the positive, I will draw more positive elements into my life. Or, at least, realize all of the blessings that I do have.

Thank you thank you thank you.
I’ve had a miserable week and couldn’t figure out what to do to make my days better.
I will definitely go home in about an hour and sing my lungs out and practice my humpty dumpty dance steps….hehe

Sing loudly is one of my favorite things to do. For some reason it always makes me feel better.
Wearing fun socks is not something I had thought of, but it sounds like one of those things that would work well.
