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:
A friend and I went to a lecture
by an amateur historian and model ship builder
on Captain James Cook
at University of Texas Medical Branch's
Osher Livelong Learning Institute in Galveston.
Good Thing #2:
A group of us went to see a play, The 39 Steps,
a comedic version of the classic thriller,
in which 150 characters were played
by just four actors.
Good Thing #3:
We finally got rain!
I hope you will write more about the presentation on Captain James Cook — I’m a big fan of books about him!
