What I Posted Last Week Here at Readerbuzz:
all weekend with Migration Celebration,
a huge outdoor activity event.
In years past, I've done face painting
and I've worked in the butterfly tent.
I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:
Good Thing #1:
I read for 16 out of the 24 hours at
the readathon last weekend.
I finished a total of 9 books.
Good Thing #2:
My husband and I learned about pollinators and
plants at UTMB's OLLI's Gardening Symposium last week.
Good Thing #3:
I won three ribbons for my nature photographs
at Migration Celebration.
I love your routine of writing down three.good things, Deb.
