#TGT Thursdays
A three-good-thoughts weekly post.
In honor of Thursday—and more importantly, the day before Friday—I wanted to have something I could post weekly that would force me to find the good in my world. The idea here being that if you are consistently looking for good things, then you have less time to look for less favorable things.
Like construction on every road in Lansing. I mean, honestly… could we get one road where there isn’t an orange barrel or detour?
But I digress.
Let’s get into this….
Thought #1: I have the best neighbors. Like, for real. And walking Darby is similar to walking with the Mayor of Grosebeck. Everyone loves her, and because of these walks I now know my neighbors. On last night’s walk, I had a neighbor race out to the sidewalk in her bare feet just to come and say hi. There is literally nothing better for me to do after a long work day than to hit the sidewalk with my pup.
Thought #2: I’m still a reader! Don’t laugh… sometimes, I wonder if I have the mental focus to finish a book in less than a year. Well, I’m here to tell you, I can! Finished The Teacher by Freida McFadden on my lunchbreak today, and while it’s probably not for everyone, I had a few great days of wanting to do nothing else but read. Next, please.
Thought #3: Summer is coming! And to prove it, I bought myself a pair of sunglasses off Amazon—first pair I’ve bought in almost five years. As I sit here, I know they’re waiting for me on my porch, and I can’t wait to get home and try them on!
That’s it… it’s that simple. Take out a notebook, phone app, or a napkin and write three good thoughts of your own. Then, as you go through your days, try to keep the good moments front and center in your mind to remember. Every Thursday, I’ll remind you to find the good in your own life.
Let me know if you’re reading anything I need to pick up. I want to keep this reading train going.
Until next time, read something fabulous.
