As I sat down to write this blog, I had no idea as to what I would write about.  I started surfing the net for inspiration but found much of the news, especially that out of Virginia Beach, upsetting and  depressing.

Just as a goof, I googled "happy news stories." Up popped the website Sunnyskyz.com. I clicked on it and immediately smiled. The mantra of the website is "every day we share good news stories from around the world." And they do. Included on their site on Sunday were stories about an entire school learning sign language to welcome one deaf student, a teacher adopting a homeless student so that the student could receive a kidney transplant, and hundreds of farmers staying silent during a foreclosure auction so a fellow farmer could buy back their land. Reading through these stories was extremely uplifting and drew me out of the funk that the mainstream news had put me in.

I generally read through CNN.Com and NYTimes.com most  mornings to get my news. Now I am going to add Sunnyskyz.com into my rotation. I know it will add a much needed smile to everyday. Why don't you try it?
