Medium’s WriteHere Prompt: What’s going right in your life today?
I know answering this with a list is a bit of a cop-out, but it’s Sunday evening and I’m feeling lazy. Though I do have a more legitimate reason. I was tempted to use one of the other prompts because when I did a quick mental scan of my life lately, I kept thinking of everything that was going wrong. So I challenged myself to take inventory of all the good things because everyone tells me positivity and gratitude are essential ingredients to a healthy mental and emotional state. What better way to emphasize the quantity of life’s blessings than a list? I found that the list got easier to write the longer it became…what a pleasant reminder that the more we focus on the positive, the more we remember how much good our lives can hold.
