Every once in a while Pandora brings up Kathy’s Song, by Simon & Garfunkel. Always makes me think of this, and how lucky I’ve been in my life and how amazing every day is. Other events lately (non-work related) make me even more acutely aware of this, and remembering just is a little overwhelming. Music is wonderful that way, and this music in particular. Anyway, to quote a favorite of mine, “If this isn’t nice, what is?“

One of my all-time favorite songs. I was actually singing it the other day as I walked through a drizzly day in Salt Lake City. Music like this elevates and ennobles us. Thanks for sharing.
