I want to prove that bad news isn't the only news people will read

Yesterday evening I was enjoying dinner at my moms house. I went to their Sunday newspaper as I always do to see what was happening in the Real Estate section. The cover had an obviously distressed man in a wheel chair. I though to myself THAT'S IT!!!!!! I really want to read articles dedicated to those who have great things going on in their lives, and not only that are grateful for what they have in their lives even if its not ideal for the moment. Its really ok to be grateful for the small stuff such as health, roof over our head, food in the fridge, and the friends and family in our lives.

 I noticed being grateful on a daily basis has really increased the amount of things that I am grateful for. As soon as I stopped focusing on what I don't have and started focusing and appreciating what I do have, I noticed a huge difference in my opportunities on a daily basis. I've been reintroduced to great people and have had a chance to know them better (thank you Daniel and Melissa), I've experienced the kindness of a generous heart (thank you Margaret) I am blessed with a great family (thank you Mom, Dad, my girls and Ric) I'm grateful to have opportunities to be of service (thank you Sharon) and I am grateful for a wonderful company who is so supportive and a ton of fun to be at (thank you Sue and Terri). I am grateful for all those people who help me succeed and keep me in line (thank you Cynthia).

On that note I went out today and as I ran into people I stated in no uncertain terms "TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD". I hope people prove me right that we like to hear how well people are doing and that they have a chance to do things that make them happy.  And so it begins......

I hope my vision (uhhumm MVision) was acurate. I hope people really do like to read stories about how well people are doing. Moreover, I hope as I keep asking people "Tell Me Something Good"  that the good is at the top of their mind and people become more comfortable sharing and showing just how good thier lives are.
