Good News is Out There
We are surrounded by the Negative – news media, the economy, the climate, social media – sad news is everywhere. But positive news is out there, too. You may have to make a point to look for it but once you get in the habit you will be surprised how much is out there. When it is happening to you, personally, it takes making lemonade from life’s lemons. A daily focus on Gratitude can help to notice the positive more often.
