There seems to be a proliferation of bad news: health care, education issues, political situation, environmental problems, etc. So rather than just reiterate all of that doom and gloom and back my behind up into a box and wait for the end of the world, I am going to look for some good news. Ok, Pollyannaism is not my usual flair, but if I don't start to look for the bright side, I fear for my sanity! Granted, there is so much to be thankful for: health, family, home, food, and on and on, but every time I look around me and at the news, it seems so grim.

Hey Harmonie,
Yeah it is easy to become overwhelmed by all of the news and things you see around you. Don't you think they ought to dedicate a news channel to seeking out positive stories in the world? Thanks. :)
The weather is wonderful. So sweet! The sky is more clear, and you can even see stars at night. Look UP!
Thanks, Intlxpatr. I will. My grandmother used to always say, "I don't know how people cannot believe in God...all I have to do is just look up at the birds!"(103 year old waving her arms over her head, marveling at the birds in flight)
