June 28th: Matchmaking
I spent the day working on a new song. I was trying to find just the right notes to capture the emotions I wanted to convey. I knew what the final line of the chorus would say, but that marriage between lyric and melody is a tricky thing to get just right. Shall we just [...]
June 27th: Waffles
After a delicious experiment for dinner tonight, I’m thinking of starting a new Sunday Night Tradition. Waffles!!! Doesn’t that sound like a guaranteed M2B:) event? Invite loved ones, soon to be loved ones, or hope we can become loved ones, over for waffles. Each week we could try different toppings. Maybe…oh, I like this idea, [...]
June 26th: Judging
Tonight I sang at a backyard summer social gathering of lawyers, judges and members of an institute devoted to making a difference around the world. Smart people, great expertise, years of experience were there to discuss some of the successes and future goals of their institute, but mostly they came to socialize, eat and be [...]
June 25th: “I think I’ll put you in my iPod”
Here’s a Mission To Be Happy moment. While I was having a little M2B:) district conference at the Deseret Book Store in Bountiful early this evening I met a great family with two wonderful young daughters. About 8 and 5 years old. I found out the the younger sister, the five year old, was a [...]
June 22nd-24th: UNBELIEVABLE
Okay, I’m going to make a BIG DEAL about this because to me it’s an UNBELIEVABLY BIG DEAL.
To put this in context you must understand how much I love tennis, and particularly how much playing tennis in high school shaped my life. I lettered in the sport all four years of high school. Won a [...]
June 21st: Summer, at last
First day of summer seems more like first day of spring, but I’ll take it. Got the motorhome hooked up to the pop-up trailer sittin’ out in front of my office window as a reminder that it’s time to do those things you’re supposed to do in the summer time. Right now, as I sit [...]
June 20th: Pie
The father’s day fuss is a very different dynamic than the mother’s day fuss. Everybody knows it. The kids in church sing 5 or 6 mother’s day songs for every father’s day tune they learn. This is absolutely as it should be, but I’m just sayin’. Father’s day fuss is different, but TODAY I scored [...]
June 19th: The Pow Wow
I’ve never been to a Pow Wow before. Heard about them, but never attended until this afternoon. This Native American gathering at Soldier Hollow taught me an interesting lesson about life that I seem to keep relearning.
My first take on my first Pow Wow came from ignorance. I didn’t know what I was watching. it [...]
June 18th: A little note about bliss
Lovin’ this new tune John sent me. In fact, I can’t get it out of my head. Good sign. Lost in the writing, present in the moment….M2B:) bliss!
