In searching for a post today, I decided to be inspired by Cathy and Erika, and I crafted my own twist on a 5-4-3-2-1 daily review.
5 Things I’m Loving Right Now
A letter – a real live letter! – from a former student.
An email from a kid I took under my wing about three years ago.
Korean food for dinner.
Feet in a foot massager.
Getting Wordle in two guesses.
4 Things that Aren’t So Hot
Having to do dishes over and over and over and over and…
A dog who brings back her ball, but refuses it to drop it within reach.
The world on fire all about me.
Not getting enough time in sunshine.
3 Things I’m Looking Forward To
Seeing my sister-in-law and nephew this weekend.
Bedtime. Always, bedtime.
The three separate anthologies I have students collaborating on.
2 Things I’ll do Better Tomorrow
Getting right out of bed.
Eating my breakfast when it’s actually breakfast time.
1 Thing I’m Proud Of
Being a good human whenever possible.
Thanks, as always, for the Two Writing Teachers March Slice of Life Story Challenge. Check ’em out!
Soapbox: The Way I see Things 
Getting Wordless in two guesses…impressive. I have yet to master getting right out of bed.
For me, the getting-out-of-bed thing is highly dependent on the day.
As for Wordle, four is my usual standard…
Love your adaptation of the reflection to use in the moment instead of just weekly. 2 Things I’ll Do Better Tomorrow is so positive and hopeful.
I like how this is a mix of gratitude and positivity with some reflection on improvement. I agree with the bedtime. I’ll be borrowing this format.
Thanks, Alice. Maybe it comes from the idea that I’m always messing up. I even got myself a shirt that said, “I’ll make better mistakes tomorrow…”
…and ordered it in the wrong size…
Lol!
I really like how you used this format. It’s humorous and serious – a nice combination. I like your number 1 comment. I’m sure I’ll try this soon.
Thanks! I liked the format as well. It’s a good way to simplify Slicing and still manage to come up with something sincere / thoughtful.
As for being humorous and serious, I suppose that’s because I don’t NOT know how to be either =)
