What I Know for Sure

I expect to add to this list over time. This is a starter set. What do you know for sure?

• Seeds are amazing.
• Every single day the earth will rotate, and we’ll see the sun and then the stars.
• I need to get outside and be in nature on a regular basis.
• Riding my bike makes me happy.
• My sweetheart’s gift of making us affogatos on a Sunday morning as a treat was A Very Good Idea.
• He loves me.
• I love him.
• We’ve made a good home together.
• I love my children and they love me.
• I’ve raised them to be good human beings.
• I will can more food this year than we can eat or give away. 
• The pinging of a canning lid sealing is a beautiful sound.
• I’m a good cook.
• My work makes a difference in the world.
• Life is too short not to eat good chocolate.
• Looking at the sky every day centers me and gives me peace.
• Humans need the Earth a lot more than the Earth needs our species.
• When I'm thirsty, cold water going down my throat feels like the best thing on earth.
• A friend you can run errands with or call and say "I got nothing, just checking in" is the best kind of friend.
• We could all use more singing, more dancing, more play.
• I know for sure that I will never know everything for sure.*
• A home-grown tomato tastes a thousand times better than a store-bought tomato.*
• Seasons change, both in nature and in ourselves.*

*A question of the day on Grateful.org July 19, 2026, provided the genesis for this list. Items marked with * came from others in the community. I found truth in them for myself and added them.
