Things that are great:
Hearing a song for the first time that stops you cold. You're out somewhere, you hear it, it just stops you. You're convinced the moment you hear it - might be the greatest thing you've ever heard to date, and it has the power to change your life. Go with it, because thing 2 is related.
Seeing the one you love in a completely ordinary, random moment that you find beautiful and crystalline and epic, and it reminds you of why you love them in the first place: because of what's inside them. And trust me when I tell you this, that thing that happens with music happens with love. Believe in love at first sight, its as real as anything else in this life.
Thing three is the day when we don't have to mention the word "first" in conjunction with, say, Barack Obama or Katie Washington.
Thing four of the greatest things in life: Regis Philbin in any form.
Thing five is being from somewhere; being part of something larger than yourself. Its part of our identity as we go through life, and its a powerful thing. As of today, you went to Notre Dame...take in those bells when they play the alma mater, come back and visit Touchdown Jesus, and bring your kids to the grotto and buy them a quarter dog and tell them, tell them you didn't go to college - you went to Notre Dame.
