I've said this before but it still holds true... Every day, someone sends me an email or comes up to me on the street and tells me thanks for promoting positivity with the “Tell Me Something Good” campaign. As far as the spread of it online, people are practicing it in Germany, the UK, all across America and even in central America... and every time someone points out something good in their life, it does them good as well as everyone who understands how it's supposed to work. There are some folks who don't get it, but don't blame them... they'll catch up. We all have something good to share, even the most unhappy of people can't deny that with any truth. When I wake up in the morning to take my daughter to school, I kiss my sleeping wife goodbye. She smiles a closed eye sleepy smile and she tells me to be careful. I love starting every day like that. She's a woman who is gorgeous even when she gets up in the morning and as far as good things go, I can't think of anything else that I have, that even remotely comes close. I want you to share with me your good things. Post them here on this blog, post them on my facebook, send them to me in an e-mail... Don't keep that positivity to yourself, share it!
Here's a list of the good things I've posted since the 1st of April, the day I began telling you something good.
April 1st... The start of “Something Good”
April 2nd.. Scrambled eggs and toast with huckleberry jam.
April 3rd.. I was able to walk out on my balcony this morning and feel the sun on my face.
April 4th.. Webb Wilder...
”Work hard, rock hard, eat hard, sleep hard, grow big, wear glasses if you need em.”
April 5th.. A kiss on the forehead by my little girl. First thing in the morning is the best time for one of those!
April 6th.. I got back in touch with some great friends from up north. Been over a decade since I've talked to these people... Old friends uniting... now that's a good thing.
April 7th.. great music is a good thing... it's never too far away.
April 8th.. It's Friday and I have no intention of posting that horrible girl's video.
April 9th.. This goes for everyone I know as well... No matter how bad things seem... there is always someone who cares about you. I know this for a fact...
April 10th. the zen of playing laser pointer with the cat.
April 11th. The good thing here is that good things are appreciated.
April 12th. Oatmeal with apples and a splash of rum...
April 13th. In the middle of the night when I start waking up from being cold, even before I start bitching and moaning, my lovely wife wakes up and moves the covers over me. I don't know if it's her psychic power or that I've really been bitching and moaning in my sleep and have finally woke her up without meaning to, but it's nice.
April 14th. when someone says "sorry" and means it.
April 15th. her legs wrapped around mine, her hair draped over my arm, and our noses touching just before we kiss. Now that is a good thing!
April 16th. Laying around in bed till almost noon... laughing and telling stories and having a tickle fight.
April 17th. Reading my email last night, I found one from Allison Blass. If you happened to read my note from yesterday, you'd know that she's the one whose friend asked her to tell him something good. She's been out of touch with that friend for years but is happy to see that people are still spreading that kind of positivity.
April 18th. when you make a difference in someone's life... and if you're reading this, you've made a difference. That's something good.
April 19th. I am surrounded by beautiful, kind, caring, intelligent people.
April 20th. Rhiannon's excited that we're going on a family outing to the Mission Santa Clara de Asis. She can hardly contain herself.
April 21st. doing something with my sweetheart for the first time... It's great when we can look at each other and say, "We've never done this before."
April 22nd. the connections that are actual and everlasting.
April 23rd. Even spam that attempts to slander me in my friend's eyes on Facebook can't make me unhappy. What a great day this is!
April 24th. friends and family all day long.
April 25th. I got a great night's sleep after a very peaceful very enjoyable Easter.
April 26th. The complete awesomeness of children.
April 27th. I was driving home tonight thinking about those who don't judge me... who know I'm imperfect and allow me to make mistakes and are still there for me when I need them and are there when I grow past those mistakes into someone smarter and stronger. Thanks again. I love you.
April 28th. our freedom of speech which includes our freedom of expression. Without it, many of you wouldn't even know who I am.
April 29th. After 29 days of promoting positivity, I saw nothing but positivity all morning long.
April 30th. This morning I saw a post on a friend's wall she's taken "Tell Me Something Good" to a new level and is encouraging people to post things they're grateful for. It's good to see positivity spread like this.
May 1st... I got up this morning and was greeted with a big grin and a kiss from my little girl, Rhiannon. She is my good thing for today.
May 2nd... I'm happy to report that not a day goes by without someone telling me that they like my positive messages. Good vibes and healthy attitude reaches across the globe instantly if you do it right. Today, my good thing is that I have a review to post and my next "Good Things" blog. It's nice to accomplish something.
So thats it for April's “Good Thing” report. I'll list the new batch around the first Monday of June, but until then I'll still be posting positive stories and telling everyone what's good in my life. I do hope that you'll take part in this campaign to spread positivity by thinking about all the things in your life that are good... and I hope you'll share it with me and everyone else.
Take care- Eb.
