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 — I spent the day starting the “big sweep” of our house. It feels so good to declutter.
Sunday — Dad came over for our weekly lunch on the patio, and we had a great conversation.
Monday — I caught up with my best friend from Governor’s School over the phone. We hadn’t talked in about three years. Much too long!
Tuesday — I finally killed the #$%^ fly that has been buzzing around our house for the last two days. I feel like I have a new house!
Wednesday — I woke up to Hamilton (one of our tabby cats) snoring. However, his snoring sounds a lot like purring, so I guess I should call it “poring.” Either way it’s super cute. Wink number two involved seeing the moon tonight while walking home from my in-laws. There was just something magical about it.
Thursday — We finished watching Teen Beach 2 as a family, and I have to say that these bubble gum musicals are perfect picker uppers for COVID world.
Friday — I heard this quote from economist Paul Romer this morning on NPR — “A crisis is a terrible thing to waste.” That statement gave me comfort.
Get outside, look for goodness and savor it, friends! Happy weekend!
