Every Friday I share the Winks of Goodness I experienced throughout the week in the hopes of inspiring you to do the same thing. I’ve found that writing down and formally acknowledging these suckers gives them more power. I encourage you to share your own Weekly Winks on my site (still figuring some technical stuff out on that if you have trouble) or social media. So look around and write it down — share the goodness.
Saturday — A yellow butterfly flew by as we were packing our minivan in the driveway, preparing to leave for Lake Tillery. Thanks, mom.
Sunday— I met my friend’s new baby during his first trip to Lake Tillery. This adorable bundle of goodness is less than two weeks old. I couldn’t take my eyes off of him. It’s all about the circle, and he was such a beautiful reminder of that.
Monday — During my run at the lake, I saw two bluebirds immediately after I passed a house with a bluebird flag and mailbox. Later in the day, two more bluebirds flew to the top of our gazebo.

Tuesday— Our next-door neighbor at the lake did her homework early so she could play with The Tots. A junior in high school, she took the time to fish, canoe and swim with them. And it was all her idea.
Wednesday— I woke up with two cats snuggling next to me. They missed us just as much as we missed them while we were gone.
Thursday — I interviewed a man who truly loves his work. Inspiring.
Friday— Miami Sound Machine’s Conga came on the radio as I drove Graydon to school. He immediately closed his book and started dancing in the backseat. It made my whole day!
Happy week!
