Three Good Things

On another site I visit a lot, I found a lady who has made it a point to list three good things that happen to her over the last 24 hours. I like this idea. I really do need to take a more positive view of myself and my world - the negativity of the last few years has dragged me down to a point where I've been (at times) either so angry I became "not myself" in terms of treating others - or so depressed I've been almost comotose - or so stressed that I've lashed out almost indiscriminately.

So.

1) Last night I finished the 2nd to the last square of the middle row of the fish quilt and realized that if I can keep up this pace, I'll be rolling the quilt again this weekend!

2) I took out the trash to the curb this morning and actually 1/2 RAN the cans out there, and yet was not breathless when I got done. This is a major improvement. The program is working!

3) The guy who put in my new AC unit is a referral from my boss. I cut the check this morning to the guy - then realized that the company is paying him this week too, and he provided the Co. with a self-addressed-stamped envelope, so I can send both my check and the office check in the same envelope and save 39 cents! (ok, that may sound lame, but it made ME feel good!)

4) I found my digital camera and the photos I'd wanted to send someone were still in it - so I sent them!!

Ok, so it's nothing huge like winning the lotto or getting an inheritance from a never-before-known-of rich uncle or something - but... they were happy things.

I spent time at the beach, the peaceful beach.

Got a great deal on a new table saw.

Bought a baked chicken at Safeway and had a picnic in the parking lot with Helen.

Took naps. :-)

Hey, once you start stacking these good things up, they seem to multiply like rabbits.
