What good has happened in your life for 30 days?

In Arizona’s vibrant, sun-soaked landscape, where the saguaros stand tall, and the skies stretch wide, there lived a writer named Rick, known for his lively spirit and a pen that danced with truths of life. Rick embarked on a personal quest that would challenge him to live with intention and positivity for 30 consecutive days, guided by three golden rules.

Rule #1: Do What You Have Agreed to Do

Rick’s journey began with a promise to deal with a problem with the pool. He dealt with the problem immediately but then noticed that a desert dweller had dug several holes at the patio’s edge. He got out the gardening tools, filled the holes with repellent, smoothed the surface, and replaced the displaced river rocks. His dedication to Rule #1 set a powerful precedent for the following days.

Rule #2: Do Not Encroach on Other Persons or Their Property

Walking the desert trails, Rick noticed the distinction between human-made structures and the natural environment, which he respected as per Rule #2. During his trek, he stumbled upon a beautiful, high-end trekking pole lying on the dusty trail. It looked to have fallen from a higher trail on the mountain. He made every effort to locate and return its rightful owner without hesitation. This act of honesty and kindness earned Rick the trust of his community and solidified his reputation as a man of integrity.

Rule #3: Is it True? Is it Necessary? Is it Kind?

Rick’s adherence to Rule #3 transformed his social interactions. Each word he spoke and every line he wrote was sifted through the fine mesh of truth, necessity, and kindness. This rule shone brightly when he overheard a disparaging rumor about a fellow artist. With gentle defiance, Rick steered the conversation to celebrate the individual’s talent instead, quelling the negativity with the strength of his character.

Day after day, Rick tracked his progress on a colorful calendar that hung proudly in his study, a visual testament to his commitment. The days were splashed with vibrant hues that mirrored the Arizona sunsets, each color a victory over pessimism and a triumph of spirit.

He found an accountability buddy in Adi, a sculptor who shared his love for observing the human condition. They checked in with each other daily, exchanging stories of small victories and lessons learned. The bond of shared growth and understanding between them flourished.

#RicksThreeGoldenRules became more than a tag — it became a beacon on social media. Others shared their journeys, inspired by Rick’s infectious zeal. They posted tales of silent acts of kindness, boundaries respected, and words that healed rather than harmed.

The act of giving back, ingrained in his daily life, saw Rick holding doors for weary shoppers, helping the elderly get along, and sharing his water with panting hikers. His actions echo his core beliefs.

Apology notes were penned with sincerity that captured the essence of his promise to do better. These were not just notes; they were pieces of his soul, tangible symbols of his pledge to himself and the world.

Rick’s story of the past 30 days was not just one of personal triumph but a narrative that wove through the lives of many, a tapestry rich with the threads of better living and good deeds. The challenge may have ended, but the journey of a lifetime had just begun.

I know the language is a bit flowery, but I am sincere. The month was beautiful, and the days were much more positive and joyful.

Now is the time for the celebration. My thought is to meet on Zoom and share our stories live with the group. The only problem I see is that we are scattered a bit and time zones may come into play. So, let me know in the comments if you want to join us and when you prefer to join us. Please tell us where you are, and we will do the time math.

Now, why don’t you spend some time with these great stories:
