What if I didn’t let the news stick in my brain today? There’s infinitely more good news than there is bad news. Good news doesn’t sell. Bad news grabs our attention. It pokes at our instincts to survive. Reports of crime far out weigh the reports of kind acts. Yet, I’d speculate kind acts far exceed criminal acts. If I don’t allow myself to get hooked into the bad news, I’ve an opportunity to smile more, laugh, and spontaneously break out into song for no reason other than to sing.
What If . . .

I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).

Yes, the mind clings to negativity. 🙂
