Not mine. I was walking through the 'hood yesterday and spotted a neighbor's new ride. I wasn't even sure what kind of car it was until Tom told me it's a Lamborghini. I looked it up online. A Lamborghini 'Aventador' to be exact. A starting price of $440,000...and only 10 mpg. Really?? I don't get it. But I hope the new owner drives happy. ☺
Three Good Things:
1. Being a one car/public transit family
2. Clearing out 'stuff' and getting organized
3. Reading this little article in Dr. Andrew Weil's newsletter about the benefits of noting 'Three Good Things' each day :
A mood state is the medical term for a person's long-term emotional temperament. One way to improve a mood state in a durable way is to consistently focus on the positive experiences in your life.
No need to be a born optimist - this is a habit you can acquire! A simple way to do this is to try the "Three Good Things" intervention: Each day for one week, write down three things that went well that day, and the reasons why.
This simple act fosters the ability to habitually notice what's going right in our lives, and has been shown to lift happiness for a full six months! You can buy a journal or notebook and dedicate it to this task, or send yourself emails through the day when you have something you want to write down. Give it a try and see how it affects your mood!
A Lamborghini type I am not...do love your "Three Good Things" via Dr Weil. Easy to do. One on my list is to take my photo for 365...as it has reawakened my creativity.
Great capture - can't believe it's right there on the street, by itself! I'm starting out the year hoping to write at least one good thing each day in my journal. So far, so good....
Isn't that interesting Peggy? I second those thoughts as I'm sure it's a positive thing to do eCh day! A struggle sometimes I'm afraid but we get there in the end! I do like a nice car but that's not for me!
