a little happier. As I think back on my life, it's so strange to consider what sticks. What's

smattering of moments or facts? Do I remember from grade school or from law school? I remember in

college my roommate looking at some daffodils growing in a courtyard and quoting John Milton's poem

Lysitus and daffodilies fill their cups with tears. I remember that moment every time I look at

a daffodil and what objects have followed us across the years. Recently I went home to Kansas City

and just as I do every time I visit my parents, I use the sturdy brown mixing bowl that they've

owned for as long as I can remember. On this visit I held up the bowl and asked, how long have you

had this bowl? I feel like we've always had it. Well, my mother said thoughtfully, we got it at the

hall's sale after the plaza flood. So much had been ruined by water and they had a big sale and

we picked the bowls up there. When was that? I asked. The Brush Creek flood was in 1977,

said my father. I did the math. You've had that bowl for 44 years. I'm sure they bought it

carelessly without any notion that it might stay in their kitchen for decades. Ordinary belongings

become precious as they persist. They make us feel rooted in our own existence with the comforting

feeling that some things will never change. Things will change, of course. But pulling that brown

bowl off the shelf makes me feel like they won't. If you'd like to see a photograph of that old brown

bowl, I'll post a link in the show notes. I'm Gretchen Rubin and I hope this makes your week
