Opposition in All Things

****************************************************************

Good: Ran my 3.1 miles in 27:15 today.

Not Good: My second toe on my right foot (mainly the toenail that needs to fall off) is still hurting me.

Good: Made giant snickerdoodles for Kendle's Activity Day group this afternoon

Not Good: No leftovers (or maybe that is good)

Good: Morgan has kept himself totally entertained today

Not Good: Unfortunately that means there are Lego's and blocks everywhere.

Good: The Valentine's Candy is almost gone

Not Good: All of the good candy is gone.

Good: Despicable Me - very cute movie

Not Good: Having it on what seems to be constant repeat.

Good: Tax Returns

Not Good: Having to use the returns for really boring practical stuff. Boo!

Good: Coaching free 3 day weekend for Riley

Not Good: LOTS to do in that amount of time.

Good: Stack of good books waiting to be read

Not Good: Not enough hours in the day

Good: Painted fingernails

Not Good: Chipped polish

Good: Glimpses of sunshine and spring colors

Not Good: Drab winter days


Taking the good with the not so good is an essential part of life. Learning how to do it well is a continual process.

Seeing the balance in both is the best part!

And the sooner we can get over the not good parts the better for and on ourselves. Sounds like your goods are outweighing the bads!

I love lists like this because I think it's a great reminder of the good truly outweighing the bad in life. When you look for it, the good can always be seen. You are so awesome, Sarah!

Ah so true. I'm finding though that if I focus more on the good things its harder to see the bad. Plus the sunshine always makes things seem a little happier. Have a GOOD weekend!
