We must look beyond the headlines, beyond the political rhetoric if we are going to stay positive. There is too much good in our lives, in our worlds, that we should not ignore.To live in a swamp of fear, anger and hate is such a waste of time and energy.
Positives? How about the beauty of nature? How about all the endangered species taken off that list as their numbers return? How about those people working on cleaning up the oceans of plastic waste? How about those scientists that have found a way to break down that plastic to a molecular level so it can be reused? How about the fact that the earth is “greening”(forests expanding)?How about our little friends?

Good People. Millions volunteer their time and give their money to help others through charities and personally. Millions of people do not participate in racism of any kind. Millions of us will not descend into tribal warfare. We will try to be thoughtful and fair in our personal activities and our voting.
Nearly all Americans believe in justice. That is good news. There is just disagreement on how to go about obtaining that justice. We must not let the haters and destroyers make us forget the many good things about our country. There is too much good and too many good people to throw it all away.
Progress is made by people of faith, of hope, and of courage. The hater, the victim, the bigot will not contribute to a positive future. And there can be a positive future! There are so many good things and so many positive people that can help make it be so. There is too much good in our lives to stay down and pessimistic.
