The Good Things Tree

Good Things Tree

Notice a good thing. Watch it grow.

Between the meetings and the groceries and the everything — good things keep happening.

Mom called just because

The barista remembered my order

Tuesday morning

Found the old photo

Rain on the window sounded like applause

A stranger held the door and smiled

for the small things

Alex sent a song out of nowhere. It was exactly the right one.

for Alex

The sunset today

She laughed so hard at dinner she snorted

for Maya

Walked home the long way. The cherry blossoms are out.

Wednesday evening

My kid drew me as a superhero

He said "I'm proud of you" and meant it

for Dad

Hot coffee, cold morning

The dog put his head on my lap during the meeting

for the little ones

It’s not about finding the light.
It’s about not walking past it.

You grow what you notice.

What was one good thing about today?

Seriously. That’s the whole thing.
