3 Good Things (again)

1. Went to my florist. My lilies from last week are still scenting the front room, but bought some protea for another vase. Got a big bunch of alstroemeria free as they weren't selling.
2. It's not so cold. The house is warmer.
3. My poetry writing is coming along. AI now rating it at intermediate to advanced. Not too bad for 2.5 weeks.

1. I have just discovered what a Protea is.
2. Nice mental image of lilies scenting a room.
3. It's great how confidently and clearly you acknowledged your own strength, I admire that. (I'm going to try it)

I'm pleased you will try it. It is easy to talk yourself out of things. "I'd like to have a go, but I'll not be any good." When you are good at something, you can play it down and not accept positive comments. You know the type of thing.

But there is no harm in acknowledging that you are ok or good at something. As long as it is truthful and allows room for improvement.

It is too easy to get stuck on negative things you can't do. So recognising good things can lift your spirits and gives you something to say in the good news thread.

Also it is good to try things. No one is perfect straight away, you have to learn. It is the journey of getting better as much as the end goal.
