Share Some Good Stuff
Sometimes we get so overwhelmed with the bad news that we forget that there are good things going on around us all the time. We can’t change the headlines, but we can seek out that which is good, that which is uplifting, that which shines with a positive radiance - the good stuff. Here are some recent feel-great stories:
Laughin over at The Queen of Pith scoured local news sources and discovered two heartwarming stories. Welcome aboard, Laughin!
Regular contributor Val, who blogs at I Know EVERYTHING - Just Ask My Hubby posted a story about a teen with a warm heart who braved the cold for a good cause.
Our Corrin, who is practically a newlywed herself, had to share a Gallery of Kisses for Valentines Day over at Oh Hey!
I’m almost as excited about a teacher’s Valentine math as I am about a triumphant beagle - or maybe it’s the other way around!
Have you checked the back pages of your local paper lately? Do yourself a favor and make it a point to find the good news that never gets the bold headlines. Pick a news source anywhere in the world or something great you’ve found on the web. Better yet, share a heart-warming first-person moment that made you smile. Did your youngest just bake a cake without parental interference? Did the smelly guy on the bus finally get a clue and clean up his act? Maybe your neighbor’s nut tree is hanging over your back fence and giving you all the free pecans you could ever want. Those little day-to-day moments that make us smile are the stuff of a happy life and worthy of sharing. Here’s your chance to recognize them for what they are and spread a little sunshine in the process. Make sure you send me a link when you’re moved to blog about something good going on. I’ll hook you up the next time we Share Some Good Stuff and then we can all feel a little better about what this world is coming to!
