Good Morning, World

Good morning. It's 4:45 am on the east coast. I feel like writing but have no idea what to write about. I'm watching the early morning news. Although I'm moved by many of the stories, I'm also saddened by most of them and don't want to write about "sad". I think that it would be nice to end every news cast with an "upbeat" story. The listeners would be left with hope in a world where there seems to be so little. How about a "Good News" news program? I know there is some good news out there. I'm not advocating being a "Polyanna" but come on, is everything really as bad as it seems? War, death, murder, child abuse. Does anything good happen out there? Why aren't those stories as news worthy? Make my day, give me something encouraging to start the day with. It may influence my day in a good way. It could even be contagious. I may in turn encourage someone else who is having a bad day and they may encourage someone. It would be an act of kindness which would cause other acts of kindness. Give me something to build a day on.
