I saw this today and it got me to thinking that we do fall into a jaded "the world sucks" kinda attitude. Seems like more lately. I think "they" want that. But everything in this article is life affirming and  made me thank the universe for my life.

Damn you! I was in a rare feel-sorry-for-me pissy-rant kind of mood the last 2 days, then I just read your post --- and you totally ruined my well-deserved moment of anger and self-pity. Double-damn you! LOL.

Seriously, nice post. Thanks for sharing. Puts things in perspective. 

There's a reason why I browse Uplifting News on Reddit

Turn off all TV news channels, not reading any news at all, shutting down cell phone, even for a week, and focusing on little hobbies does wonders.

Absolutely. I gave up on the news at the turn of the year. Watching baseball and hand fitting 1911's  is a little slice of heaven.
