I decided to start this blog as a counterpoint to the typical evening newscast. It seems every time we turn on the news or open a newspaper there are stories of crime, war, death and devastation. Of course, these things do happen all over the world and we shouldn't ignore them. But personally I feel that the typical news media focusses too much on what has gone wrong in the world and not enough on the good stuff.
There are plenty of inspiring people, places and events in the world, and great things happen every day. This blog will focus on stories that inspire, amaze, and leave us feeling better about the world we live in.
Today's news story concerns the remarkable progress of US Congresswoman Gabriele Giffords. She continues to meet and exceed the milestones her doctors have set for her and show remarkable resilience despite suffering a devastating injury. Here's a link to the story from CNN: http://edition.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/01/23/arizona.shooting/
I'll be posting a new story with a brief commentary on a daily or near daily basis. If you like what you see, feel free to check back regularly or subscribe to the blog for fresh updates whenever I post a new story.
I'd love to hear your ideas and comments, good bad or indifferent. It'd be great to get a conversation going on some of these topics.
All the best,
Dan.
