One Good Thing

Always remember that small things matter.

• • Friends who will go to a corn maze with you .
  • Really perfectly made coffee.
  • Baristas who know when to chat and when to just say, “I hope it’s better soon.”
  • A text that reminds you that cool people think you’re worth knowing.
  • 90s alternative music played loudly as you drive home with the top down on a warm, clear November day.
  • Receiving a hand-written letter in the mail.
  • Realizing that, while you can’t fix everything, you can donate blood. (And justify fistfuls of snacks in the process!)

Life is good. Celebrate the wins. Share the sorrows.

And consider making a pot of soup this weekend.
