Haven’t heard of the Vonnegut list but love the idea and will try it. In my family, we sit around the table each night and talk about highlights and low lights or “roses and thorns.” It’s illuminating to hear about what stands out. I am continually surprised at what comes out of my own mouth. The highlight tends to be so simple and is almost always free; laughing with one of my daughters, watching a hawk soar, coffee on the floor while stretching and watching the snow fall, or walking the dog with my wife. Yesterday my highlights were hitting a new distance record in swimming as I strive to become an adequate swimmer and holding hands with my daughter as we watched a musician perform.

Such a great read as always. And I couldn’t agree more.
