Stick to good news!

Have you ever noticed how bad news always features first on television or radio before any good news? Bad news travels fast (so they say), and we've all heard of the saying “no news is good news”! Wouldn't it be a refreshing change, if good news were reported in equal amounts to the bad? I presume good news is not sensational captivating the audience whilst stopping to gasp at the headlines, arousing gossip and speculation. Where are all the good and wonderful stories out there, about amazing people doing incredible things, uplifting and inspiring us all to be better, making this world a far better place? Since beginning to write my blog, I have had the good fortune to come into contact with many people from around the globe, each one with their own courageous heart-warming story to tell. I have experienced first-hand the best of humanity which restores my faith in mankind.  Being chronically ill, changes one’s perception of life, and the small things that would have once driven me mad, are of little importance today. Knowing in your heart what really counts; acknowledging and accepting, where to focus my energy, are some of the important lessons that ill health has taught me. I always look for the silver lining no matter how dim the situation and give people the benefit of the doubt. My glass is always half full, and every day I count my blessings.  I always endeavour to look on the bright side of life.
