A New Venture

So, about a week ago I had an epiphany while taking a shower before work. I had just caught about 5 minutes of my local news before jumping in the shower and what I saw really annoyed me. In the couple of minutes that I watched the news, every story was bad. There were murders, dog fighting, war, bridge collapses. Very depressing stuff. So, while in the shower I thought, there has to be a better way!

Joe and I don't watch the evening news. It's too depressing. Every story is a bad story about some terrible tragedy or how awful the government is or how bad the war in Iraq is going. I found myself just getting my news from the Internet so that I could pick and choose the stories that I wanted to read. I've also heard from other people that they don't watch the news for very similar reasons.

I've decided that I am going to create a news site that only lists good news stories. Stories about people who are doing good things in their communities or helping those in need. Stories about the good and happy stuff that's happening around us. Stuff that the negative news media deems less important to report on than murders and other awful things.

So I did it. I registered my domain name and created a website. I just posted my first couple of stories. Let me tell you, it is not easy combing through news stories finding the good stuff. I only have 3 stories right now but I've got more coming. I hope that, if you're sick of the regular news like I am, you'll read my site and pass it on. Also, if you come across any news stories that touch you or you think are just nice, send them my way and I'll post those too.

I'm really excited about this new outlet and hope that you will be too. I feel really energized about doing something so positive.

So, here is the link to my site. I'd love to hear what you think!
