A blogger friend does a weekly gratitude post. I decided that something similar would be good practice to remind myself that even in the bad weeks I should try to find the good. So, here is the first in the possible new weekly “What’s Good in Tater Town” series.

1. Both of my kids came home for a few hours this week. Different day than the other, but both were here.
2. I was able to take some last-minute time off to rest after a long couple of weeks at work.
3. I met with our new CEO on Friday and she didn’t fire me on the spot.
4. We had some days without rain this week and I was able to mow my lawn before I  needed a tractor.
5. The Braves clinched the NL East and are going to the playoffs for the first time since 2013.
6. Kentucky football beat #14 Mississippi State last night and are 4-0. 2-0 in the SEC for the first time in a very long time.
7. My fantasy football team is 2-0.
8. I’m on the second day of my first full weekend off in three weeks.
9. It’s raining, but my wife still plans to pity me and go to the Ravens game with me today.
10. Cooler, less humid weather is here.

Ten seems a good goal for each week. Hopefully, I won’t have weeks where I struggle to come up with that many.
