Good things for the last week

• Local kids came over and helped with the cooking, vacuuming and played soccer with the dog and we had a great time on Sunday
• Made a huge pot of yummy pumpkin soup with their help
• Had some local friends over for a dinner and a lot of laughs and fun
• sitting on the porch in the sun with the dog cuddled up beside me today, reflecting on how well behaved he is now
• Nice talks with my Mum on the phone
• My littlest cat is finally calming down and adapting to having a dog in the house
• Really enjoyed watching some funny DVDs, including Be Kind Rewind, Tropical Thunder,and Zac and Miri make a Porno
• Lovely sunny day after a day of torrential rain
• Got most of the taxes spreadsheet finished
• Posted on my blog six days out of seven
• Nice comments on my blog
• Took my car for a warrant check
• Cooked a roast of beef and veges and froze a couple of meals.

  1. You had a lot of good things to write. Good on you, Kaye. You are doing better than I was on Saturday morning - I couldn't think of anything good. Eventually moved to thinking about fun things to come and did some so now there are good things to write about. To para-phrase Rachel Hunter/Pantene: Your techniques may not always work over night but they do work...

  2. Kaye, it's great to see the range of good things you have in your life. All these things are important resiliency factors, like connecting with your community, being able to laugh, being with nature and animals, eating well, and so on. Cool to see you recognising all these things and putting them out there to help others recognise them, too.

  3. You just can't beat Rachel Hunter - that saying is always apt! Yes I think having a range of sources of good things is important - it acts as a system of checks and balances so that if one part of your life craps out there are still good things happening elsewhere (like when Barney ate my book yesterday I still had a nice breakfast!)
