Good News Thursday

July 17, 2008 · Leave a Comment

We had a lovely night out last night, marred only by a major bitching session about some people we all have in common (I hesitate to use the word “friends” in this context) On the way home Mr BB remarked how easy it was to get caught up and focused on, the negative in life. Instead of chatting about the many great things we all have happening in our lives right now, we all focused on the things that annoyed us.

I maintain that a satisfying bitch can be a great thing, and a joy to the soul; it relieves the blood pressure and frankly the knowledge that I can let rip later is the only thing that allows me to be in company with some people. But he had a point – it is too easy to get caught up in the negative.

So I hereby declare today Good News Thursday; and I’m off in search of good news, heartwarming tales of life and love, and failing that anything that makes me laugh like a drain.

Early forays have yielded, in no particular order, Rejected Newborn Red Panda Adopted by Cat ; Beagle Returns to Family ; Classroom Proposal of Marriage ; Golf Club ends 113 year ban on socks and this

Remote Tribe Takes On Mining Giant which would be brilliant if they succeeded.

Not exactly over whelmed byt the happy news out there but still, worth spending the time; sometimes choosing to be happy is what’s important.

Word of warning though…googling “good news” brings up a lot of religious freakery so be wary where you click :)
