#OneGoodThing

I began my day thinking about golf.

I’m an awful golfer. I’ve been an awful golfer for decades. I just love playing.

Years ago, rather than quit due to ineptitude, I came up with a good strategy:

“One Good Shot”

As long as I have one good shot, I’m happy.

To me, one good shot means a successful game.

I don’t keep score most of the time.

I just make note of my one good shot and continue playing happily, because I know while I’m not a good golfer, I am a successful golfer.

Eventually, during a particularly sad and stressful time in my life, I decided to apply the “One Good Shot” strategy to the rest of my days.

It became: One Good Thing

I decided as long as I could recognize One Good Thing during each day, I could consider my day successful.

There have been days that strategy saved me.

There have been many days finding one good thing has been a stretch.

Mostly, it’s made me aware of searching for the upside.

Today, I’m asking you to recognize “One Good Thing” in your day.

Come back and tell me what it is.

If you can’t see it, let’s find it together.

Love,
April 💛 #OneGoodThing

What a wonderful idea. I don't play golf but I can always look for one good thing about my day. Thank you for sharing.
