Ah, That Feels Better

Some Good News - a little cooperation in trying to make things better. 56 newspapers in 45 countries carry the same editorial - all calling for leaders in Copenhagen to take definitive action on climate change.

GivesMeHope.com

NOW I really have something to be grateful for. My daughter told me about this site and it was a ray of sunshine on a gloomy day. GivesMeHope.com is a response to FMyLife.com, a site on which people wrote down the most discouraging, disheartening events in their lives. It's a great idea, but infinitely depressing.

Gives Me Hope is the flip side of that coin - people writing down little notes describing an experience that makes them think that life may just be worthwhile.

It also has a YouTube page. Nice antidote when you feel like you're sinking.

My Hero: Susan Boyle

Do you need to smile? Do you need a lift? Watch Britain's biggest contribution to making a better world ever. And watch Simon Cowell's face as she nears the end. What a softy. I like being a human right now.
