Every Friday I share the Winks of Goodness I experienced throughout the week because 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 or on social media. Look around and write it down — share the goodness.
Saturday— The Tots played their first basketball game, and their team won! Our awesome friend, Ray, surprised us and showed up at the game. Great morning!
Sunday— The Tots and I ventured outside of the bubble to The Ballantyne Hotel to take a stroll down Gingerbread Lane. We were so inspired we came home and built a small gingerbread village.
Monday— One my trainers and friends (Andrew) returned to the Y exactly two months after having a massive stroke. I’m so happy he’s back.
Tuesday— The Tots and I watched A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding (again) on Netflix. (Love, love this movie series. Don’t judge me.) It was rainy and cold, so Graydon snuggled with me. The best!
Wednesday— I went to a Hope & Healing workshop at Balanced Body Solutions in Cornelius (this place is a Wink of Goodness). It was so comforting to be with other people dealing with grief during the holidays. Community is everything.
Thursday— As I was running in Davidson, a lady (stranger) walking toward me warned me that the bridge was already icing over. I appreciate her efforts in helping me not bust my toosh.
Friday— I forgot that I changed my alarm clock to music instead of news yesterday. This morning when it started blaring, it was so nice to hear Christmas tunes instead of headlines.
Happy week!
