finer things


A group of friends and I have greated a little group and called it the Finer Things Club. Last night was the first get together and it was a lot of fun. We talked about classical music, books, and everything else excluding what is splattered all over pop culture magazines. Two of my friends, Jake and Scott, are very musically inclined and ended up playing some classical music on the piano and violin. If we would have been dressed up like we were from the times of Jane Austen, I think we would have fit in very well!

As I write this out, the Finer Things Club sounds like a group of arrogant University students getting together. However, we all come from different walks of life. It feels so refreshing to talk about things beyond what is happening in politics or the media. I feel like there can be more discussions about what it really means to live life! My dad gave me a book from Franklin Covey called Ever Wonder: Ask Questions and live into the answers. It is a book of questions that get people thinking what it really is to THEM to discover the joys of living. I think I may take it the next time we get together....I love that little book!
