Recognizing the Positive in Our Lives!

The concept behind "One Good Story a Day" is very simple. In a world where headlines on the tv, on the internet and in the newspaper are so discouraging and negative, we need to not give up hope that there is still good in the world.

I know that I have felt bogged down lately by the personal struggles of my extended and immediate family (and this encompasses several people as my husband and I both come from large families). Along with the struggles of my family members I have found that I can't read or watch the news and find anything good. Somehow right now it feels hard to see the light.

I know that we need to be educated and not ignore the news and the economic, and political climate of the world today, but I also feel like it would help to focus on the positive at times as well.

My new goal in life is to simply find something positive in my life each day! Focus on that and try to feel more gratitude. I know this isn't a new concept, but I wanted to create this blog as a way to encourage others to start trying to find the good in their life as well.

I plan on posting one story each day that will help bring a smile to those who might read this blog. So I'm hoping you will all share your stories with me as they happen. If you have a good story just email me at onegoodstoryaday@gmail.com! The requirements for the stories I plan to post are simple...they must be positive and they must be true! I would prefer you share stories where you personally know the people involved as well!

So please, share your stories with me and we can try together to bring a more positive light to our world today.
