My title was inspired from the lyrics of one of my favorite songs, "Empress of Organos" by the popular jam band Goose. "You say, looks like rain today... We say, oh what a day to be living." Besides being instrumentally brilliant, the obvious lyrical themes of cultivating sincere positivity and present-moment mindfulness through life's inevitable pains and joys, just spiritually resonated with me. Something just clicked seeing Goose perform it live. This blog was inspired by a longtime family friend who left algorithmic social media before me. With the caveat that I do use YouTube Premium to follow select channels, Strava for outdoor activity blogging, and a dormant LinkedIn account for potential future career moves, replacing social media with blogging just... felt right. I'm a husband, pet parent, and recent MPA graduate. I love spending time with family and friends, music, traveling, learning, and being outdoors, among much more. I hope to explore some cool topics here. Any questions or comments, feel free to email me at daytobeliving@gmail.com.
