Ducks on the Pond

So, here I am on New Year’s Eve and I feel like I am about to come to bat with Ducks on the Pond.

In the game of baseball, the phrase “Ducks on the Pond” means that the bases are loaded. The hitter coming up next has a great opportunity to drive in up to four runs with a hit — a grand-slam home run would be awesome! It also conveys a sense of optimism – when teammates call out this phrase, it’s really anticipating something good happening, even if it doesn’t always work out.

Receipts

Part of building our optimism skill is looking back to see all the great things that happened. And in doing so, you see that we can thrive in most any circumstance with the right mindset — furthering the belief that something good will happen. Just look at the receipts.
