Two Thoughts For The Week

“Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas…perhaps…means a little bit more!”
― Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

“How many observe Christ’s birthday! How few, His precepts!”
― Benjamin Franklin

One Video For The Week

Cherry blossoms and rainbows, bubbles and googly eyes: Why do some things seem to create such universal joy? In this captivating talk, Ingrid Fetell Lee reveals the surprisingly tangible roots of joy and shows how we all can find — and create — more of it in the world around us.

Ingrid Fetell Lee has devoted ten years to answering the question: “How do tangible things create intangible joy?” Drawing on research from the fields of neuroscience and psychology, her book, Joyful, and her website “The Aesthetics of Joy” explore the powerful connection between our surroundings and our emotions, and empower people to find more joy in daily life through design. 

 Joyful, her first book, was selected as a Next Big Idea Club pick and named a best book of 2018 by Real Simple, Elle, and Inc.

And Finally….

“CALVIN:
This whole Santa Claus thing just doesn’t make sense. Why all the secrecy? Why all the mystery?
If the guy exists why doesn’t he ever show himself and prove it?
And if he doesn’t exist what’s the meaning of all this?
HOBBES:
I dunno. Isn’t this a religious holiday?
CALVIN:
Yeah, but actually, I’ve got the same questions about God.”
― Bill Watterson
