My good news is that I am not bombarded by negativity! And I have no stresses...for years now.
Even little things like my loud muffler guy isn't really a 'stress'.
I know the basics...earthquakes, crashes...bla bla...my head is not in the sand.

I know the secret to this life now, yay!

And here? My ignore list is tremendous! See?
And my friends know, "Don't be tellin' me gossip or complaints...save that
for someone else", sorry.
I have forgiveness and compassion in my heart...(finally), that's my good news!

Though I'm not Catholic or Eastern Orthodox, I appreciate the beauty of some of their churches. Here is the beautiful interior of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Montreal.

So in this thread, please share any good news, any good pictures of what you take or you found in the internet and anything positive.
From the picture of beautiful libraries (I just saw it in another thread) or that your son / daughter finally graduated college. Anything positive!

I am going to start.
One of our best friend has finally landed a job after about 11 months searching. I am in Philadelphia and she is still in Miami. I am so happy for her!
We will celebrate this upcoming May 25th, reuniting in NYC for the long weekend holiday!

Also please check this youtube video.
What a talented, positive man with beautiful soul!

Default Six Short Stories with Great Meaning

{1} Once all villagers decided to pray for rain, on the day of prayer all the people gathered, but only one boy came with an umbrella. That's FAITH

{2} When you throw a baby in the air, she laughs because she knows you will catch her. That's TRUST

{3} Every night we go to bed, without any assurance of being alive the next morning but still we set the alarms to wake up. That's HOPE

{4} We plan big things for tomorrow in spite of zero knowledge of the future. That's CONFIDENCE

{5} We see the world suffering, but still we get married and have children. That's LOVE

{6} On an old man's shirt was written a sentence 'I am not 60 years old.... I am sweet 16 with 44 years experience' That's ATTITUDE

Have a good week and live your life like the six stories!

May you always have love to share, health to spare & friends that care...

Here we go, my old home...this creek thing was literally about a block from where I lived in Chilton and in the wintertime, it was gorgeous! Brings back memories....

Ive never taken my kayak to that part of the creek but there was a small lake less than about half mile from my old home, where we've done kayaking. Once youve done kayaking, its like an addiction.
