where's the HAPPY news?

have you noticed how depressing the news is? foreclosures, death, debt, war, sickness, despair - these are the times in which we live ... believe me, i get it. but, would it be SO bad to publish or air a happy story now and again. good, no GREAT, things happen every day in this world and yet we rarely hear about them - unless of course they're somehow related to foreclosures, death, debt, sickness, despair. let's break that trend.

the news of the day - THE HAPPY VERSION

my neighbor gave us a big piece of melon just because.
14 people donated kidneys at georgetown medical center - just because

now add to the list!
