My Sunday ‘To Be’ List

by AL ROKER

I want to be more present and mindful.

I hope to be the person my kids turn to.

I strive to be someone who sees the good in people.

I want to be a beacon for climate change.

I attempt to be a source of laughter, but my family would beg to differ.

I need to be able to admit when I’m wrong.

I seek to be more positive in the face of negativity.

I would love to be the first weather person in space.

I try to be a good husband, but need to work harder.

I try and remember to be grateful for the family and friends that lift me up and support me every day.
