Touch

People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?

Today is Ezra's birthday. He is seven. He is pretty chill (pardon the pun with the image of "Don't Break the Ice" in the photo above). He looks for good things and - at least around me - doesn't complain too much.

I hope you have a great birthday, Ezra. If not, it's probably because you were negative. That is going to be easier and easier as you get older. But don't do that. Be cool. Be calm. Seek joy.

And if you seek Almond Joy, let me know. I love those things.
