Goodwill Hunting

One of my current SuperBetter quests is to "hunt the good," making a list of awesome things in my life so that I focus on the positive and avoid ruminating on the negative.  Here's a very partial list in no particular order:

• Mama, Sis, and Bud (and the cats)
• family (Hello, Texas!)
• friends, real life and online (especially my playgroup mom friends and my blog readers--extra points to the two of you who do both!!!!)
• people who have helped (Mrs. S, Driver, my SB allies, friends who visited/brought meals/ran errands)
• the teachers and staff at school
• blogging
• my treadmill
• Unitarian Universalism (the principles, my church, and the CLF community)
• "Glee"
• chocolate
• holidays
• autumn
• my bread machine, electric mixer, immersion blender, and convection oven
• hot tea
• good scents (lavender, jasmine, orange and cinnamon, baking bread)
• my smartphone
• meditating and Buddhism
• books, magazines, the NYTimes, and websites--reading and knowledge are key for keeping me engaged and inspired
• the resources to keep everything going
• my stuffed penguins and fluffy pink blanket
• my historic house work (especially my costume!!!)
• outings
• Whole Foods
• NYC
• thoughts of snow
