Have just been reminded that it's the anniversary of us losing Kurt Vonnegut.
I am a fan & in particular try to remember his advice to notice when things are good & to say "If this isn't nice, what is?"
I scribbled this on the day he died, & posted with the words "Kurt is up in heaven now" & was roundly attacked by someone for saying such a thing about a humanist, until I pointed them to the anecdote about how it was his favourite joke.
Anyway, read his books.
They're good.
