"How about a few examples?" I hear you ask.
Sure. Not a problem ;-)
"Caught in act of doing good"
"Scores of people encouraging others"
"Parents helping their kids"
"So many good things it's hard to keep track!"
"The little things do get noticed!"
"Kindness seen in most obvious places"
"Needs being met in every section of town"
"Good news in news!"
Think with me for a moment...
If you were to write a short story filled with examples that would fit headlines listed above -- examples from your everyday world, -- you would have to look for them, wouldn't you?
And that's precisely idea.
SOMETIMES LIFE JUST AIN'T PRETTY
Before you ask why I'm suggesting this, I will tell you: sometimes world is not a pretty place.
I have in front of me a newspaper, and I am reading headlines like these...
"Feds targeting prescription fakes."
"Pakistan kills 12 in al-Qaida bunker"
"Weekly Iraq toll: 3-6 killed, 40 hurt"
"Parents face charges in duct-taping"
In spite of these headlines, however, there is good in world.
Good people doing good things. Good people saying good things.
Everyday. In your world and in mine.
My purpose in suggesting this exercise is simnple...
I WANTED US TAKE NOTE OF THE GOOD WE OFTEN MISS
Creating our own "headlines" for day or week is an idea to help us draw our attention to brighter side of life.
In my way of thinking...
"It's always good to see good."
WHAT WILL YOU SEE?
Time to create your own "good news" headline for this week.
Your headline will be ______________________________________
____________________________________________________________
When you will begin ________________________________________
When you will end __________________________________________
Remember: "What you see is what you get."
Yours for a day filled with beautiful moments in time,
Lee
