Good News Welcome
Is it just me, or have some of the rest of you had your fill of bad news? The economy is still in turmoil and it is said it will be years before it straightens up IF it ever does. Fathers and mothers take the lives of their children and themselves. Bombs and suicide bombers senselessly kill. Countries are always busy in war or discord. Heating fuel is withheld for money and an older man freezers because of his inability to pay a bill. The craziness can discourage the most stout of heart. Personally, I needed a change.
How refreshing to read about new lives! A baby was born in the library in Denver, Colorado. Eight babies (octuplets) were born in California to a couple expecting merely seven babies. All are still living and five are feeding on bottles with breast milk donated by strangers. Simple and yet, in the face of today’s news, exciting!
On another note, in a Paris fashion show, designer Jean-Paul Gaultier, show-cased fifty-one year old French model, Ines de la Fressange on his runway. She hasn’t modeled since she was a young woman but she stole the show. Call me crazy, but I find it good news that beauty can be recognized after youth is gone.
See, it doesn’t take much to make me happy. I know that the other news is important, but once in a while, it is wonderful to hear how our youth do the right thing, our parents help their children, and people are there for each other. Just once in a while!
It’s uplifting to see so much good news in one spot. You brought a smile to my face, thanks! By the way, I have been following the litter of 8, it’s amazing they are all doing so well. It seems nearly impossible.
