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:
Ami-chan, wants us to know all about Cool Schools in her Florida community, saying ” … the news broadcast is making sure to boost everyone’s attitude about both learning and teaching. ” She also shares some personal good news in her Three Thank You’s on Thursdays post.
Val is a tireless advocate for chidren with special needs and disabilities, so it’s no surprise that she took note of the big news about Sarah Wilkins. Can Sarah do what needs to be done? Yes she can!
Many kids here start learning to surf as soon as they can stand on a board, so it’s big news here that Surfing is finally an official high school sport in Hawaii.
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!
