3 Things

I think I've posted this before, but 3 things is sort of a tradition of mine that has become a tradition in our family. In an effort to reframe our thinking, I always try to think of 3 good things that have happened in my day. I've been doing this since college, just about ten years now, and it's helped tremendously to help me focus on the positives.
Yesterday was a good day, but man, the evening hit and everything just went downhill. Today promptly followed suit, but then took a turn for the better this evening. So I guess 24 hours of crap isn't too bad, right? And now, instead of focusing on the bad, here are three good things that happened today:

1. Ice cream for dinner with E and J. Well, it was more like ice cream on our way to the grocery store, so it served as an appetizer and then we had some veggies and rice. Life is short; eat dessert first!
2. Sharing a great book with my students. I'm so encouraged and inspired by them.
3. A visit with Tracy.

And now that my brain is focused on the good, I'm heading to bed in hopes of some good sleep.

I've had captain crunch w/ crunch berries at least 3 nights this week. It's too much of a pain to try and cook the nights that Eric has to work and I've got Cooper and the never ending list of chores to do.
