Good News is Always Good!

At some point during my "forties" life, I had come to the conclusion that most of the news that is presented in the media is pretty depressing. Take a look at what dominates the airwaves nowadays. The wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Gulf oil spill, the economy, unemployment, etc. Someone recently told me that I need to take a "media fast". Just skip the news period. I mean why bother? Same old depressing stuff day in and day out. I had seen an occasional clip now and then where a TV station would state to the effect that they were only going to present "good news". But the segment was short lived. Do people in general just get off of negativity? So some individuals relish at the sound of another person's woe?

But today I came across something today that was really cool. It was a posting on CNN listing "8 feel-good websites to brighten your day". Something to perk you up and it costs nothing! Thank you CNN for posting this! How about a "GNN" for the Good News Network"? So I decided that I must share this with everyone who may come across this post by listing the link below:
