A friend recently posted the above on Instagram and it made me reflect. Did I really accomplish all that much in 2021? Did I make excuses? Was I afraid to take risks? Am I getting any closer to my goals? Surprisingly, I was able to list 53 items. In the end however, I realized that the biggest wins weren’t always the biggest in terms of impact, but of effort. A lot of what I listed felt good. It made me smile because I cared enough to search for solutions rather than complain about obstacles.
A Great Idea... We are all surrounded constantly with media that does nothing but create fear and sadness. I start my mornings with a cup of tea, and then I start writing what I am grateful for. Expanding that to your request to be writing about 50 good things that happen made me feel like I need to appreciate the little things like knowing that my friend and neighbor is healing...and her undiagnosed pain is over. After several months of pain, that is a gift that should not be taken lightly. I expanded my 50 things to include many other things I take for granted, including having healthy pets. No good thing should fail to record in our brains...and then in our hearts and our gut.
