I got kind of depressed today. On reflection, trying to determine why, I realized that all the news I've seen lately is bad. Dead zones in the ocean, 7-year olds raped, terrorists, etc.
I decided to try something, so I made a Yahoo Group. Here's the intro:
Bad news a bummer? Global warming? Terrorism? Child abduction? Murder? Focusing on the negative can take your thoughts on a downward-spiral. It would be nice to have some GOOD news delivered to your email, wouldn't it?
Post here - but only about something good you've seen, heard about, or read. This is NOT a religious group, so "Jesus Loves You" is a happy thought - but not for this group.
Let's hear something positive for a change. Something happy - like these silly old lyrics...
GREEN TAMBOURINE
The Lemon Pipers
Drop your silver in my tambourine
Help a poor man fill his pretty dream
Give me pennies I'll take anything
Now listen while I play
My green tambourine
Watch the jingle jangle start to chime
Reflections of the music that is mine
When you drop a coin you'll hear it sing
Now listen while I play
My green tambourine
So, can anyone give me a "good news item" to post into my new group? To get it going? Child found that was lost? Family receives new home from community? Baby not expected to live makes miraculous recovery?
If so, could you reply here so I can gather it for my good-news group?
Thanks, muchly!
