If you’re anything like me, you have a bit of a cynical streak. It’s hard not to some days, with so much bad news pouring down: wars, famine, economic turmoil. When something good happens, it tends to be overlooked because of the frightening aspects of the bad. It doesn’t help that we have a media that is becoming increasingly based on fear-mongering, not journalistic ethics.

But what can you do to “break the chain?” How can you spread some positive news today?

Well, first you have to identify positive news. Believe it or not, you have already had many positive things happen to you since you woke up this morning. Maybe it was a relaxing, hot shower or a perfectly made cup of coffee. Maybe its the fact that you have a roof over your head or a working car…or bicycle. Perhaps a friend paid you a compliment or a song played on the radio that you haven’t heard in ages.

Today is the day to spread the news. Tell someone about something positive that happened to you. We often get used to the trap of sharing our bad news…which has its place. Sometimes we need to get that stuff off of our collective chest!

But as Thanksgiving 2008 passes behind us, continue to give thanks…and give it!

Positive News - Spread some Today! Better yet, share some with us!
