Homer Simpson's Secret to Getting Through Life

8/8/2015

The last couple days have simply been a stretch where everything and everyone around me has just been too serious, me included. I'm not minimizing the challenges in business or how tough it is to stay focused, but it's Saturday morning and for the third day in a row we've got sunshine in Florida. It's simply starting out a gorgeous day.

I found this quote from Homer Simpson in Dance First, Think Later. This little book is a classic collection of rules to live by, and it belongs on everybody's bookshelf. Click the cover to the right if you want to read more.

Meanwhile, I'm doing everything but take life too seriously today and inviting you to join me. That doesn't mean you can just abandon your commitments, just concentrate a little more on the humor in life and enjoy whatever it is you've got to do today.

Wishing all of you a terrific weekend and time with family, friends and the people you love.

The three sentences that will get you through life:
Number one, "Cover for me."
Number two, "Oh, good idea, boss."
Number three, "It was like that when I got here."

"Why?"

Check out "Why?" one of the most popular features on the SCU Blog. It's a very simple concept - one image, one artist and one short sound byte. Each artist shares what makes the image one of their most favorite. There were fifty different artists featured in 2016 and we anticipate doubling that in 2017.
