Hey, chickadees. As we bring Providential Life and GMS together, I thought it time to introduce you guys to 5 Good Things. It started in college informally from my friend Katie who, when anyone was stressed or overwhelmed or just tired, would say, “Tell me five good things.” It instantly brought you out of your funk and into a happy place, and since then we’ve 5gts our ways out of finals, jobs, relationships, deaths, you name it.
5gts is a good way to celebrate a Friday (that you’re maybe taking off as a mental health day to hang with a buddy or two) and a day before birthdays (which maybe is tomorrow.)
And so:
1. Pioneer Woman’s Creamy Lemon Basil Potato Salad. Doesn’t it look amazing? I can’t wait to try it out – I’m thinking July 4th might be my weekend for busting out a fresh potato salad recipe. Who’s with me?
2. Eggplant, your summer friend. Yes, yes, and yes. I can’t wait for eggplant — I love it in all things.
3. My coworkers got me a gift certificate to go to a Home Coffee Roasting class, where I will learn how to roast my own coffee. Aren’t they the NICEST??
4. A new bar to try – with figs! And, as a GF recipe, this might be good for summer beach snacks.
5. This article about tomatoes. Just thinking about them gets me excited for summer.
With this, I’m off to the beach — have a lovely Friday, friends!!
