Blanche brought up a good point about how everything in SGI revolves around people having "benefits" from the practice. And how it's essentially just a competition to talk about all the kind, normal human things they have done, or experienced for themselves from external forces. (My interpretation, not Blanche's words.)

So I thought it would be nice to have a post where WE CAN talk about(humble brag) the kind and cool things we have done or experienced, simply because we are human, and not because we are members of a religion or because we need karma points or need to prove the "benefit" of being a certain way.

Here are a few of mine from this last year:

• My business earnings increased almost double since the previous year. My line of work was a good one to be in this year.

• Because I was doing fine financially, I donated ALL of my first pandemic check to charities I care about.

• I finally purchased a work truck for my business.

What about you guys?
