Tell You [a] Little Story

This was part of a post on Provo's mayor's blog advertising a community health fair. Can you spot the irony?

Go where you're invited. Steve doesn't believe in this life philosophy, so I've become lax, but I think it's a good rule. This last Saturday I was invited to two events, each of which I did not have much interest in attending, so I didn't go to either. On Sunday I learned that both hosts had had low attendance and felt bad about it and it made me feel horrible. When I was about 8 my mom had a Tupperware party and no one came and she was hurt; even though it was a dumb Tupperware party, she took it personally. So even when I get invited to dumb jewelry parties,  I think it's a good idea to make an effort to show up because people are more important than me not being slightly inconvenienced.  Pay attention to the things you think about while falling asleep/when you wake up for whatever reason/first thing in the morning.  Your (my) brain has usually had a chance to filter out the unimportant stuff and whatever is left often provides clarity and new perspective.
