I’m a day late on this one because 1) it has been a very busy week; and 2) it has been harder than usual to do this exercise. Which, of course, is the whole point: to refocus one’s mind on the positive, on the blessings, and away from the negative. So here goes:

1. My son started school this week in advanced classes and won a starting position, the one he wanted, on his team. Because he works hard and gives his best efforts both to schoolwork and to athletics, and he has been blessed with a good mind and healthy body.
2. My daughter has been spending a lot of time with us lately, just hanging out, before she goes back to college. Because she is a loving young woman who was a big help all summer and who knows she is lucky to have a happy family and loving parents.
3. My students have turned out in high numbers for my programs this week and have expressed a lot of appreciation for what I do for them. Because I put a lot of thought and work into meeting their needs, I’m very good at that and I make their wellbeing and growth my priority.

There, that wasn’t so hard. Enjoy the rest of the week, friends!
