There is good in each day

I am so sick of watching the news.  My dear husband insists on blaring news channels from our television for hours at a time. It seems like most of his non-working hours are spent watching the news.  Because I am so sick of the nasty news and the hate spewing that I see on a daily basis on social media, I want to concentrate on the good things in the world.

Yes.  There is still good to be found in each day. Even on days when NOTHING seems to be going right, we can always find a bite of goodness…sometimes a huge chunk of goodness!  Everybody is so busy concentrating on the bad that they dont even look for the good. Little things mean a lot.  Did you smile and say hello to a stranger? Did someone hold the door open for you , or did you hold the door for someone else?  If you didn’t, you should try it.  Kindness is a great feeling.  If you focus on the good, you will find it. A few days ago I came into work and found a piece of chocolate sitting on my desk with a note that said “you are awesome”.  That same day I came  home and my husband had dinner in the oven. He prepared it and had it ready for us before he had to leave for his night shift job. Yesterday I saw the most beautiful bloom at the optometrist’s office.  It was so beautiful, I had to take a picture.  Others in the waiting room thought I was nuts, of course!

Now, it is your turn. Go out and find the good things today. Be kind. Forgive. If you have seen something that has renewed your hope in the goodness of people, let me know.  Do not let this world turn you ugly. I am willing to bet that together we can fill this blog with good things on a regular basis!
