I am grateful for everything

I am grateful for everything in my life: the good, the bad, the in-between. Everything that happens to me and for me makes me who I am.

Perspective

I want to concentrate more on what I have done and less on what I haven’t done. I want to see how far I have come and not dwell on how far I have to go.

There is a lot going well in my life; I fear I will miss it because I spend a . . . → Read More: Perspective

There seems to be a lot going wrong in my life right now, but there also seems to be a lot going right. I don’t think it’s very smart to ignore the bad – if I can do something to make it better, then I should. But I also don’t want to dwell too much . . . → Read More: Don’t forget the good

Getting comfortable with not knowing

One of the most important things to me is that I know what is going on. I know the answers I get may not end up being what I want to hear, but I can deal with bad news. But trying to deal with something when I don’t know what is going on is hard! . . . → Read More: Getting comfortable with not knowing

Police

I don’t think there is an easy solution to what is going on with all these people of color being treated badly by police, or worse, being killed by them. I don’t understand what is going on.

Change will come

Don’t ignore the bad things that are happening, but don’t overlook the good things either. It is so easy to look at what is happening right now, throw your hands up in the air, and want to crawl under the bed and hide for a while.

Resist that urge! There are good things happening, and . . . → Read More: Change will come

I am grateful for what I have

It feels important to remember good things right now, so here’s a list of just a few of my blessings: it’s not raining (this minute, anyway), the people I love are currently okay, I am getting my second vaccination in a couple days, I have good friends, I have enough of what I need, I . . . → Read More: I am grateful for what I have

What happened to us?

I have to say that I just don’t get it; maybe someone can explain it to me. I just don’t understand the thought process behind, “I am willing to bet that I will be fine; I don’t care how many people I will infect, and if they die, they die.”

When did we become a . . . → Read More: What happened to us?

Look for the good

It’s time to look for some good things, because it sure seems like there is only bad out there right now. I really do believe that you see what you look for. There is bad out there, but there is also good; the good will remain hidden if you don’t look for it. So I . . . → Read More: Look for the good

Look for the good

I almost always say something to management when I have gotten good service from an employee – it makes me feel good. I know so many people who complain when they get bad service, and I understand that. But bad service seems to have become the norm these days. I often wonder if the definition . . . → Read More: Look for the good
