My Good News this week is that I have people in my life that encourage me. They are able to speak positive messages into my life, even if my natural inclination is to see where I have fallen short.
I do not want to design my life to bring on the next compliment, that is unhealthy. But I am someone who responds to encouragement. I try to encourage others as well.
In those moments when I want to focus on the negative, there are people, especially my immediate family, who help me to refocus.
I will admit that they are less encouraging when it comes to my jokes. It is not that they never find them funny, but if they show their appreciation, it will only encourage me to keep going. And I usually tell a dozen before I hit that one funny one.
So thanks to those who encourage me.
