Good Stuff











This week, we are invited to “tell us something good.  We know the world is full of a lot of bad, at the moment. So, any good (even if tiny) would be great to read about." 

. . . 
 
Something good 

Something good. Good to be shared 
Something good. Good to be eaten 
Something good. Good to be watched  
Something good. Good to be listening to 
Something good. Good to be stored 
Something good. Good to be sold 
Something good. Good to be smelled 
Something good. Good to be remembered 

Something good. Eight will be enough 
Something good. You, or I, can think of more
Something good. 

Something good. Now I found the real stuff:

Something good. Tell you my claim to fame 
Something good. Chocolate is my fave 
Something good. I watch college football 
Something good. I listen to Willie Nelson sing 

Well, I narrowed it down to the last four 
Now I'll chip on them a bit and pick one 

My claim to fame is only in my mind 
In my mind and it'll stay just for me 

Chocolate's wonderful, have some every day 
Aways on a graham with meds, not time 

College football on TV each weekend 
But college football isn't 'til next week 

That leave some Willie Nelson for tonight 
Now where did I leave that old CD?

Oh, this made me smile! So cleverly constructed, and so good-humoured in tone.

A wonderful list of good things - perhaps there is always something new which feels good! Jae

Yes, the good things are usually the basics that go underappreciated day after day. :)

The simple pleasures of life really do feel like restorative magic. I'd add a cup of tea and snuggles with my corgi.

Enjoyed. Refreshing. Delightful. I like the unmindfulness at the end.
