As you are likely aware, if you have read anything on this blog, my rhythm is to post a Good News post every Monday. This is something that I have done for almost ten years and it actually began as a daily discipline that I eventually moved to weekly.
It began during a dark time in my life as a means of self-care. I forced myself to find something good, anything good, as a way of trying to cultivate a more positive attitude. Some weeks are easier than others.
I will be completely honest and say that I just panicked when I realized it was Monday and that it was time to post my Good News. The panic was not because I nearly forgot but because I really did not want to try and find some Good News.
I am not going to share any details but there are some things in my life right now that make finding Good News a bit challenging. You do not need to know the exact situation(s).
My biggest temptation today would have been to just skip blogging. The majority of people would never have noticed.
I think it would be rather fake of me to say something like: “Life is really hard right now but at least…” That might be what people might expect or even want, but it is not what I am going to say.
I will say that there are things that are wearing me down right now. That’s it. That’s not what you want for a Good News post but that’s what you get this week. Maybe next week will be different.
This is not a cry for help. Anyone reading this will have their share of challenges as well. This is just me being real.
