Have you got some Good Stuff?
Have you been checking the back pages of your local paper lately? If you haven’t gotten around to it yet, there’s still time! Do me (and yourself!) a favor and make it a point to find the good news that probably won’t be the lead story at ten. 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 gladdened your heart. Did you order your Halloween invitations already so you wouldn’t forget this year? Is Friday your last day of work before your long-awaited vacation? Maybe you finally figured out how to do that thing that makes your life so much easier?
Here’s a great example of Good Stuff from my pal Val: She dilignetly seeks out the good news, especially when it deals with the special needs community. She recently found an encouraging news story about teens who are bold enough to face their state legislators to lobby disability awareness in schools. Stories like this make me feel good about the leaders of tomorrow! Don’t you just have to smile when you see an uplifting story like that? 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. Post a link to your good news below. It can be a post on your own blog or to the source that made you grin. If you have a blog, invite your readers to share their happy moments, too. I’ll do a roundup of your stories later this week. Make sure you come back to read the good news when we SHARE THE GOOD STUFF!
