Good morning… Read a great article by my friend Ian Gray. http://dissociatedpress.com/2012/06/america-in-decline-10-reasons-you-should-start-studying-mandarin-today/ It might stir your pot up a little. give you food for thought.
It lead me to wondering, where the heck is ‘Good News’? So much negative news in the papers and media, with only a dab of some good news, which leads me to wonder, as I have wondered before, what keeps us hook on reading about disaster, trouble, horror, and a plethora of other negative news that leaves us fearful and all riled up?
So… I went for a brief google venture looking for on line media that had ‘Good News’ . Here, what I found. http://www.happynews.com/index.aspx, http://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/, http://goodnewsdaily.com/, http://www.goodnewsgazette.net/. Which isn’t say there is not good news all around the world, only that you have to seek it out.
And, it seems that we are conditioned to let ‘bad’, negative news, fill the press. If ya want some good news take a gander at the above sites and see what it does for you.
AND, you could always make a list of your good news daily. Kinda like noticing what you’re grateful for.
The good news is
you’re breathing
maybe that’s the
best news you got.
If you’re reading this
You’re seeing too
How lucky is that?
And thinking
Thinking about
your goodness
cause that’s what
I’m inviting you to do
Right now.
Gathering up
All the goodness
that surrounds you
The gratitude of your
every moment.
That’s some damn
Good New right there.
Maybe you’ll pet the dog
or let the sun hit you just right.
Maybe you’ll hug your
loved ones and give a cherished
moment to the warmth
of that feeling of love
Breath that beauty right in
See it in their eyes
Let that news fill you up
cause you might have
a lonely moment, a sad one
and all ya got is the news
From a few days ago
that the sun hit you just right
and the dog loves you unconditionally
and your loved ones held you
In a cherished moment
and you need that news
to remember you’re good
You’re Great, you’re loved
That is some wonderful news
That’s the news worthy of
hearing, and holding within
when the external news hurts
Share that good news.
