Three Good Things – 12 February 2026

As always, striking the balance between life and writing presents challenges. When I’m not meant to be cooking dinner I generally get on my bike for an hour or more – which will go up as the rides go outside.…

Missed a day because life was life-ing but back at it today with three more good things in my life, in the world and that you can do..

Today it's still cold out and I'm still posting three good things from my life, from the world and that you also can do.

Today as usual there are three good things: One I appreciate from my life, one (and actually a bonus second one this time) story of someone doing good in the world, and finally a way you can also be part of bringing good into the world.

Three more good things today - one thing being helpful in my life, one good thing from out in the world at large, and then a good thing you can do to help someone else.

It's probably a good thing to start looking at "three good things" again but I thought it might be interesting and helpful for more to look at three things from three angles. One thing from my life, one thing from the world, and a final good thing that you can do.

The news, amplified and endlessly repeated by social media has made this a hard beginning to 2026 for me. What am I doing to keep my head on straight and find ways to help others?

On the 21st of September Todd talks about the importance of persisting doing the things you love even when your mind tells you that you won't enjoy it or that it's pointless.
Also: Even if you don't read the whole entry, do go in and watch Demi Adejuyigbe's videos. They're a delight.

Here's a quick update on what's going on for me today and of course stories of good things happening in the world.

Todd has a really lovely weekend mix of alone time, family time and time with friends. And of course there are several good news stories here to remind you there's still good in the world.
