A Good-News-Only Thread

Forums:

Perhaps I can start my day with this thread everyday (for the next four years, at least):

A Good-News-Only Thread

1. The days are getting longer ..... that's all I got today (sigh)

2 weeks until String Cheese Incident at the Tabernacle. 

It looks like SoCal might get a little rain next weekend.

I just got back from a fun family reunion weekend in New Orleans, and am glad to report that the spirit of celebration, creativity, and cosmicity has continued as the residents process the recent tragic events there.

It was also nice to take a break from the freezing temps in Seattle for some t-shirt weather.

Dweezil on Wednesday

After going mostly vegetarian and adding substantial fiber to my diet 15 years ago,  I haven't had a hemorrhoid since.  Morning, Alan :)

can we include good-news-songs?  Please and Thank you....

Good news: this ^ will not be the last good news for the next 4 years. We will make our own. And people will Teach their children well, and DANCE, make ART, love and be kind to one another: the good news will come of good things we do and make happen. Love to all.

Well said, Judit. Thank you.

Big change is coming
Coming right home to you
Big change is coming
You know what you gotta do
Big change is coming
Could be bad and it could be good
Big change is coming
It's coming right home where you stood

Big change is coming
Big change is coming

Big drums are drumming
Heading up the wrong parade
Big change is coming
Coming right to your gate
Big guitars strumming
The singer says, "Don't be late"
Big change is coming
Could be bad and it could be great

Big change is coming
Big change is coming
Coming right where you stood

Might be a politician
Trying say something new
Might be your decision
Now you've got to see it through
Looks like a collision
Ain't the worst that you could do
Might be bad, might be good
Big change is coming to you

Big change is coming
Big change is coming
Big change is coming

Take the bits and pixels
Put your old phone down
Gotta do what you gotta do
Head to the hills or go to town

Big change is coming
Big change is coming

Yes, Judit. Despite all the foreboding, we still get to create our lives to a great degree. (And that's good news!) 

Wife finally found our SS cards and birth certs after they were MIA for more than a year - ever since we had to prep for fire evac. No evac, but the docs have been on vacation ever since.

I suppose this is more of an honorable ending, than a happy story...  but it's worth sharing!

That certainly counts as a beautiful ending, and perhaps it made the Shepard family 'happy'. Thanks.

Any good news I have is intertwined with bad. So I'll leave it that laugh

Thank you Noodler, you can always make me smile when life is so grim.

May Reverend Budde always have the last word. Don the Con is a show-man with very little substance, but it's devastating that half of America buys into it.
