The secret to blogging, for me, is that I look at my new photos every morning and decide on the topic, here and now.
It’s no secret that over three years ago I posted Day 71: The Secret to Life is Three Things. The secret to higher readership for that old post is my not telling you what those three things are.
The secret to life in today’s post is this:
The secret to life is deciding, for yourself, what the secret to life is.
Can you find secrets to life in any of my other photos from yesterday?
The secret to life is letting others know that you hear and cherish them. The secret to my giving a great gift to my boyfriend Michael this year is inscribing something shown in one of the photos above on a t-shirt. Shhhhh! It’s a secret!
The secret to my musical choice is usually contained in my pictures. For this post,
EQUALS “I’ll be There” (live).
The secret to life is being there.
The secret to life is expressing gratitude to those who help you, every day. Today, that would include YOU.
Gratitude is key.
Good to remind myself. Good of you to remind me, Ann.
Let’s not keep gratitude a secret, Ruth. Many thanks to you.
I feel the secret to life is sometimes hiding. I guess that is the reason it is a secret, and not obvious nor easily revealed. The idea I have about “secrets” is that they occur inconspicuously, like a baby’s development in the womb, or trillions and zillions forms of life regenerating on planet earth while we sleep, and then ask how in the world did it happen, but wake up to see it’s there while yesterday it wasn’t.
I really like the glass blowers and the wooden pieces with the one saying “courage”. A secret is whether this quality is inborn, or whether it’s a lifetime’s work.
Ann, you may be interested in reading the post I wrote in my other blog about those little worry dolls. I know I saw them once in your blog:

I really like the life in your comments, Maria.
As I looked at the pictures of the glass sculptor I thought that creativity is infinite, and so is life: infinite variations. Wherever we go on this planet life is there.
Wherever you go on this planet, Chris, please come back here.
The secret to life is to look at everything with curiousity and to be amazed and learn. Having loving family, friends, pets enriches our lives. I like the saying that if you live it well, one life is enough. Thanks Ann. Enjoy your day.
You and your comments enrich my life.
Awww…you make it so easy to wake up and read! What I get from your blog today is to do what you love. Pour your heart and magic into it and share it with the world. Of course, loving is the most important secret. Which isn’t a secret at all, is it? Love You!! See how easy that is?
You make it seem easy, Claudia! Love you, too.
Gratitude clearly figures at gala-blowing school!

Uh, thanks, Autocorrect. That should be glass-blowing school!
Thanks for the gala of these two comments!
There is not secret to why your posts always leave me feeling uplifted and inspire to go out and share my secrets to life!
You constantly show gratitude, express possibility and share love.
And that’s no secret!
It’s no secret, Louise, that you uplift and inspire, too!
The secret to life is being alive, caring about others, wanting little, being loved and giving love oh and not being dead
Those ARE the secrets to life, Joanne. I’m so glad I lived to read this comment.
Fun! Thank you.
It’s no secret, Russ, that I’m always grateful to see you here.
