Celebrating the Good in My Life
In this time of frustration and stress, I have to try and celebrate the good and positive things in my life and not dwell on the negative or bad.
So the good things:
Acceptance - I got another one this morning for a short story that I have submitted 18 times in the last 3 years.
I have lost 30 pounds since I started running/walking for a minimum of thirty minutes every day in late May of last year.
I have a story currently online at The Citron Review which is the first short story I have had published since Pleiades in 2018.
I am healthy at the moment but given this country’s inability to practice social distancing I don’t know how long that will be true.
I still have a job even though I feel like my city’s board of education should be closing the schools and rotating the teachers since working from home is such a novel concept.
I made farmer’s cheese and cottage cheese for the first time. It was a success!
Of course, I wasn’t able to keep this list super positive because…life…but these are good things to celebrate, so I will.
