#3GoodThings #ReasonsToBeCheerful

1. Tuesday was my Friday.

2. Enjoyed a low key 44th birthday yesterday with my son and DIL last night. Mexican baked potatoes and a hybrid cheesecake cake that was to die for.

3. Made pho for dinner and enjoyed it with my son and DIL tonight.

1. The sky was clear tonight, so I may have gotten some nice shots of the stars.
2. My stepmom's cats are ridiculously sweet.
3. Jason Sudekis exists. *sigh*

#3GoodThings #ReasonsToBeCheerful

1. I'll get to go swimming this weekend!
2. My bedroom is the perfect temperature right now.
3. Baldur's Gate 3 is amazing.

Perhaps minor reasons to be happy, but it's been a rough week, so I'm celebrating even tiny wins. 😄

#3GoodThings #ReasonsToBeCheerful

1. I see stars in the sky.

2. I absolutely love sitting on the front porch with my dog. She's super chill and just sits there with me with no inclination to leave the porch unless I tell her it's okay, even if I leave the porch.

3. Knowing the 10 hour version of Marconi Union's 'Weightless' will get me to sleep again tonight despite my overactive mind.

#3GoodThings #ReasonsToBeCheerful

1. I did not respond to personal life (unnecessary) drama messages today.

2. Caught up with friends chit chatting and about gaming tonight, mostly Palia.

3. Talked about impromptu plans to travel next week to see my family. Have time off, but normally I schedule things. This time I decided this is what my heart and soul need. Self care.

I just listened to an episode of #ReasonsToBeCheerful with Caitlin Moran and she speaks so much sense.

It's not enough to tell boys they need to be better. We need to be teaching them that they are worth a damn.

If we keep punching them, we can't be surprised when they fall in behind the sort of people like Tate. The sort of people who make them feel like maybe they're not human trash.

So #3GoodThings today
1. M&S Mushroom Pappadelle for lunch - yum!
2. Getting first sight of some new projects at work
3. Trying out a new colour change nail polish. Yes I’m in my 50s but I still like fun things!

1. Watched 'Happiness for Beginners' on Netflix and they talked about 3 good things in a sense, so I'm determined-ish to share mine every day.

2. Cleared 50% of my work backlog due to a workshop last week. My employees will be relieved.

3. Snagged a really awesome leftovers cookbook using mostly Google Opinion Rewards.

I do not often plug things. One, I suck at it, two, most things are perfectly good at plugging themselves. For this site, I am making an exception.

We all know that there is a lot of horrible stuff going on in the world. And we do need to be informed about it so we can do something about it.

But what about the stuff that has had things done about it? We hardly ever hear about that.

A few years ago, David Bryne - ex-frontman of Talking Heads, and all-round nice guy, noticed this problem, and started a news site that focuses on solutions from around the world.

https://reasonstobecheerful.world/

Well researched and excellently written articles about the good things in the world - giving us all a reminder of why we should keep going.

There's an excellent article at #ReasonsToBeCheerful about the need for more long-term thinking. It interviews BBC journalist Richard Fisher about his new book "The Long View: Why We Need To Transform How the World Sees Time".

"There’s a quote by John-Claude Juncker, former president of the European Commission, who in the aftermath of the financial crisis said: “We all know what to do, but we don’t know how to get reelected once we’ve done it.”"
