I was reading local, state and national news and I don't know if anyone else has this problem but sometimss the news will depress you as if all of these bad times had been done by you or to you. I was thinking, maybe I should just stop reading the newspaper, stop making my grandson change the Tv station for the 6 0'clock news and after yesterday I added stop answering the phone for fear it might be bad news. I am actually overwhelmed by things happening in my family, in my neighborhood (I witnessed a crime of breaking and enetering last Friday for the first time in my 53 years). Oh goodness, let me not even mention the state, national and world news and people dying at young ages. People I know from TV and people that I have known a long time right in my town. It makes you sad. Did I mention how overwhelmed I happen to be by all of this?

I could go on and on. BUT! Three pieces of news have come to my attention that made me say Way to Go! First was the granny who had an intruder enter her house thinking he was about to get some things that did not belong to him. Granny pulled her 22 and made him call 911 on himself. I liked that! Right in my state, a young man walking to his care from back to college shopping was almost carjacked. The young man said the only thing entered in his mind all the money he Mom paid for him to take Karate. He turned around and kicked the gun out of the bad peron's hand and gave him a few more chops as he caught the policeman's attention. YES!

The next feel better news I heard was from my own little 9 year old neice. Shortly after being told Mama's death was soon to come and nothing else could be done and she had lost her will, I brought up that I was going to start looking into the make a wish foundation for Kris. She has autioimune hep. She said no, no there's no need for me to make a wish. Let another child have mine because all I would say is I just want my family to be with me and have a big cook out or wait until Christmas when we all be in one place having fun. I just want to be with all of my family even the ones who live out of town.

I cried! We all did. That had to be the best thing I've heard anyone say to me.

Have a good day and may all your news be good news today.
