My Valentine

One 2025 Reading Project. . .

 


One of my best Christmas gifts was the book, This Beautiful Day: Daily Wisdom from Mister Rogers. It has 365 entries by Fred Rogers, including short thoughts, anecdotes from his life, poems, lyrics, and other short prose. This is a gem while I'm trying to figure out who I am after my diagnosis, adjust to medication and therapy, and with those tools aim to achieve my most successful year as a husband, father, writer, creator, and person. 

I've always thought very highly of Mister Rogers as a man who was immensely creative while following a path of empathy, compassion, and kindness. My plan is to read and reflect upon an entry a day throughout 2025. It has already proven to be a priceless treasure for those seeking guidance through mental health, creativity, and being a better person. 

Thank you so much Catherine Ho. This is such a thoughtful and wonderful present.
