This month’s article is going to be different for a change. After five years of writing this article, it is time to “get out of the box.”
Have you ever been involved with a group of people who ask questions as an “activity” of the people in the group?
Okay, let’s be a group (the readers of my article) and I am going to ask you all as a group, different questions. You can answer each question by talking to yourself or tell a friend the question and see what they say. Ready? Here we go.
1. What is your idea of perfect happiness?
2. What is your greatest fear?
3. Which living person do you most admire?
4. What is your greatest extravagance?
5. On what occasion do you lie?
6. What words or phrases do you most overuse?
7. What is your greatest regret?
8. When and where were you happiest?
9. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
10. What is your most treasured possession?
11. Who are your heroes in real life?
12. What do you most value in your friends?
An even dozen questions should be a good start in changing the way this article is written. However, I have a question for myself and it is pretty much what I am always asking the people who govern our city. The question is “When will the city council, community members, school officials, people in all walks of life and business realize there is one big thing missing in our city? We need an art center! So when will this become important and be created for everyone to enjoy as part of life here in Santa Clarita? Of course I can say more and give all the reasons. Later, as I expect you have heard my pleas.
