Every Thursday, I share three good things from today, in the past week, and/or in the week or weeks to come, to focus on what is good. I encourage you to share in the comments your three good things too, if you want. I was introduced to thinking on three good things for the week by Deb Nance of the blog Readerbuzz who lists hers every Sunday on her blog.

I’m going to keep this simple today, compared to other days when this is very complex, ha.

Kim is visiting her dad and stepmom in Maryland , and they’ll be visiting her sister, our brother-in-law, and their two daughters, who live about half an hour away. Kim got there yesterday and she’ll be back Sunday. So that’s Good Thing No. 1, that she’s able to see them. It’s been awhile.

Meanwhile, I have today and tomorrow off, and I’m catching up on movies that Kim didn’t want to watch but I do. So, this is Good Thing No. 2. First up, and one I’m watching even now in the background with closed captions as I dictate this, is The Fantastic 4: First Steps. I’m about an hour and 10 minutes in, and it’s pretty good , if not great. (I actually finished by time I finished this post and can recommend, although maybe not highly – but fun, if in right mood, which I was). Of course it doesn’t take much to be better than the other iterations of this.

Among the other movies on my list are Jurassic World Rebirth, Thursday Murder Club, and Prey, part of the Predator series, which I’ve had in queue for a while. I’m planning on watching in Comanche, which is one of the options.

Good Thing No. 3 is when Kim returns home, her vacation continues into the following week and ends the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. On Sunday, Nov. 23, we also celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary. Nothing special planned but I’m also off from work, so that will be good too.
