Reading the comment about your encounter with a photographer determined to get some happy looking photos reminded me of the adults in my life growing up.

Most of them were from the “old country” (read – Germany) and had gone through the Great Depression. Expressing happiness was something rare in that generation. But it did happen some.

I wonder how they would have reacted to your call to be happy at work?

This is not a critique just a question that popped into my head when I saw the photo of you giving the thumbs up.

Congratulations on the well received presentation too.

Keep creating,
Mike
