3 good things:

• went shopping (grocery store & #Costco) on my own today, and enjoyed leisurely trips up & down every aisle

• wore my “Kindness Is…” hoodie while shopping and gave unsolicited compliments to 4 girls/women I came across (1 pretty shirt, 1 sparkly hair extensions, 1 pair gold sneakers, 1 blingy cardigan)

• got tickets for #Matchbox20’s 30th anniversary tour next year!
