is a book I borrowed from the library. Acknowledging 3 positive things daily is one of the pillars of the concept of appreciative living. I know I can easily find 3 things to be thankful for every day. On nights when I just can’t sleep I try to list 100 things to give thanks for before I nod off. Acknowledging my gratitude is something I have to be reminded to do. I’d like to make it a regular part of every day. Thanks for the idea Shelley.

before I had to give him back to his owners. Sad ending, they didn’t take care of him and he disappeared months ago. Hopefully he’s found a home where all of his needs are being met and he’s loved. I went a little overboard and bought almost $200 of cat food, toys, health care products, etc. for him before I had to give him back. The shelter was happy to take the donations.

I’ve changed my ways so I can incorporate carpooling into my life as much as possible. My car used to be my home on wheels with everything I could need at my fingertips. More like on the floorboards or in the back window or under the pile in the back seat…I had seating room available for noone but myself. Now I only carry essentials so I can carry passengers instead and cut down on the number of vehicles we have to run. I’m carpooling to social events, meetings, funerals, on errands. It’s not as convenient and not always as quick as riding solo but it’s worth it. I’m going to try to introduce a carpooling system at the church I’m going to. I see so many vehicles with only 1 or 2 occupants in the parking lot and it’s a small city. There are almost certainly neighbors who could take turns driving instead of both of them driving separately to the same place. I think people will be receptive to the idea. It’s just a matter of changing our mindset. We’re so accustomed to being able to drive wherever and whenever we want. Most people don’t even consider carpooling unless the idea is presented to them. I hope people will respond to the challenge.
