Weekly tradition: finding some rays of light no matter how dark the clouds. There is always some light. Finding it matters most when it is hardest.

Tell me something good.

What good thing happened in your life this week?

Felt brand new or felt like your old self again, just something good.

For nearly ten years now, I’ve been asking people to share One Good Thing from their week.

This week, I need to ask people to be the One Good Thing in mine.

That moment when your son just started his senior year of high school… and then you see a Cheerio under the sofa… and it flashes you back to 15 years ago - which was also just 15 minutes ago… and then you’re singing Cat’s in the Cradle and hugging the Cheerios box.

Time for a mid-summer edition of our (usually) weekly tradition.

Tell me something good.

What good thing happened in your life this week?

Big or small. Won the lottery or found a dollar in the dryer, either works. Just something good.

This week has been extra tedious so I am going to regale in every single one of your contributions to our weekly tradition.

Tell me something good.

What good thing happened in your life this week?

Find something shiny to share. Even if it’s just the dime you found in the dryer.

Friday tradition.

Tell me something good.

What good thing happened in your life this week?

Find something. Whether you usually contribute or don’t, this one week, find something no matter how small… and join in celebrating others’ wins. They never fail to uplift.

I’m not an expert in business or anything, but a 71% drop in profit sounds ungood.

Bought a passionfruit iced tea from a Starbucks inside a Barnes & Noble.

I would definitely highly recommend it if you‘ve ever wondered what it would be like to drink a Christmas candle.

That wasn’t to be.

So, while it isn’t what I had hoped for, this story has now reached its end.

I posted something about it on IG.

Wanted to share here as well since this is now a closed book for me.

This will likely not be interesting to anyone but me, but I am doing some final housekeeping around the rather public relationship I was in until recently.

That relationship has now run its course and is complete.

Over the past months, I’ve been trying to navigate it to a soft place.

Okay, there is something I’ve been wanting to do for a long time…

I’ve been posting my Friday “One Good Thing” post for almost 9 years now.

I’ve always wanted to ask:

If you have shared things over the years, what was the most meaningful, important, joyful thing you have ever shared?
