Stuff is Great!

Stuff is great, and people who do stuff are awesome!

Today I went to the largest flower show in the country (world?). I did not previously know it existed, because “flowers” are not a primary interest of mine. And you know what? I had an absolutely awesome time.

The displays were incredible! There were so many plants, and so many people eager to answer any questions I had about them – and I had many! Everyone wanted to talk about their cool thing they were doing, and it was all great. People laughed and complimented each other. There were lots of people making things. I had so much fun I didn’t even get to do everything I wanted before the closing of the show!

My kids sometimes ask me if my job is fun, and I steal a line from comedian Dave Chappelle: “No, my job is work. I’m fun.” That’s the secret – all stuff is great. It’s just that you’re either the kind of person that can have fun in an circumstance, or you’re not. If you need specific stuff to be happy, you should try to change that. There’s so much stuff! So much fun! Don’t limit yourself to only a little slice. The world is too cool.
