Opportunities and Happiness

February was a great month. I had two concerts in Utah: one at BYU and the other in Brigham City. Thanks to everyone who attended and laughed. Thanks to the organizers. I really felt taken care of at both shows.

When I meet new people, I love to hear their stories of how they are making their lives better. I am inspired to learn more and to do more. A good friend completed a huge task this past month. In the face of doubters and cynics, she was able to learn something brand new and make her project a huge success. The human spirit can do anything. It is powerful and wants to succeed. It gets angry when our laziness says, "I can't do it."

As I was traveling on a plane to do a concert recently, I read an interesting article in a magazine about being happy. People complain about being in a rut or being dealt a bad hand. When you find yourself in a difficult situation, ask yourself, "Why me? Why here? What can I learn? What can I do to make this an opportunity?"

We make our own opportunities. We create our own happiness.

August- Utah Concerts

I had a great time in Brigham city, Utah on Friday. I met a lot of nice people at the Reflections Bookstore. Thanks to everyone who came to visit.

The winners of the free concert, Gracia and Lindsey, had an enjoyable party/barbeque. I played songs, told stories, and hung out for a few hours. Thanks Gracia. Tell Friend the burgers were awesome. And Dan, you are one of the best!

On Saturday, I played at the Highland Fling in Highland, Utah. The event planner, Emily, was a joy to work with. The entire day was filled with entertainment, parades, and activities. Great Job! As far as the concert goes, all I can say is that I miss 9th grade. Thanks to everyone who listened to the songs and stuck around afterwards to talk.
