Life is hard. It needs to be, because overcoming adversity is what makes life fulfilling and meaningful. But this doesn’t mean we need to be bombarded with negativity all the time. It’s about taking the time to acknowledge the silver lining and that’s exactly what I’m doing with this week’s FRTBAT vlog.
It’s been over a year since I last did this, so I guess I’m long since overdue.
FRTBAT, for those of you who don’t follow YouTuber Craig Benzine, stands for “Five Reasons To Be Alive Today.” I don’t think “Wheezy Waiter” has done one in a while, but when he did, he would share uplifting or positive stories he found in the news. Like how some guy made a contraption so that it’s easier to poop in space. Yes, that’s right.
I promise my FRTBAT list isn’t nearly as crappy… or is it?
Like, while my vlog may not really explore the complexities of natural human processes in a zero gravity environment, it does include something to do with Miss Bong. There’s even a brief cameo by a certain “stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder” if you look carefully enough. That makes me smile and I hope it makes you smile too.
Anyways, so just chill ’til the next episode.
We should all be thankful every day. Even if we had a horrible day, you can find something good in it.
I love seeing/reading people’s FRTBAT. Nice to find the good in everything.
Your videos always put a smile on my face.
š I’m glad.
You concluded that post, perfectly…. JUST CHILL ‘TILL THE NEXT EPISODE. I’m so glad I know you, I feel like it makes me cooler.
I was wondering who would get that reference. It’s like this and like that and like this and uh….
This totally made me smile!!
Lol contraption to make pooping easier in space? Who knew.
So similar idea to a thankful Thursday but much more fun sounding name!
In some sense, yeah. Wheezy tends to grab more news stories or happenings out in the world, whereas I think of Thankful Thursday more as a “what’s going on in my life” kind of list. I think my list is somewhere in between?
As someone with bad anxiety I remind myself often reasons Iām alive today. What a way to bring gratitude to your life
I love that you brought this back because this whole list makes me happy. Loved watching your list and YAY for Nexus
Soooooo worth it.
I think it’s so important to take a step back from our busy lives and count our blessings too. Also, my girls would love that outdoor playground! Will have to check it out next time we are visiting family in Toronto š
I am ALL about finding awesome creative kid playgrounds too. Especially with my three monkeys ranging in ages. So hard to find something they ALL enjoy at the same time. Have you checked out Terra Nova yet?
I haven’t! People keep telling me I should though.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about stopping and taking time for gratitude.
Love this post!
