Since I started trying to notice and hang onto three things every week that made me happy or grateful, the world has not noticed. 

I mean, the world has continued to pump out a glut of things that are wrong, sad and scary. But noticing three other things gives me a beachhead of hope and peace. And it messes with someone's algorithm aimed at keeping me sad, scared and mad. 

This week those three things were:

1. Two Siberian Huskies

2. A scene in a mountain climbing movie

3. Bruce Hogle

Thanks for listening.

Don't get me wrong. :) The reason I put together a weekly summary of things I am happy and grateful for isn't because I don't see and feel all the other stuff that makes me unhappy. (One too many negatives there?! You know what I mean!) It's more that there seems to be a default position set at anger and outrage that's good for somebody's bottom line, but not mine. 

So I am trying to train myself to notice and hold onto three things every week. This week's resistance by listing includes: 

1. Shelagh's laughter

2. The Mars rover

3. Saying hello on Earth

It's helpful to try to notice and then try to hang onto some things that make you happy and grateful each week. 

This week for me: Masai Ujiri, Richard Ozero, and moose.

Don't get me wrong. There's a lot out there that's not good that needs attention. I just feel I also need to notice and hang onto a few things that make me happy and grateful each week. So that I find a rhythm besides the algorithm. This week: birds, dogs and a Nobel Prize winner.

I try to notice and hold onto three things that make me happy and grateful each week. Not because there aren't important things that are bad news that need my attention. That is a pile by itself. I think there are forces and interests whose good is served by my being always in a state of frustration or despair or anger. They don't get me. 

Enjoy this week's collection.
