Good News - Thread

Chris P Bacon said:
I think that it's nice that we have this little corner to read a bit of good news. Or maybe it's just happy news sometimes but happy news seems better than doom and gloom. I try to keep the bad news away from my eyes but there's just something about it that draws me in. It's a lot easier to find bad news than it is to find good news. But be that as it may, I've found a new source called Happy News that seems to have some good news to share. Click the link and see what you think! Hey, I made a rhyme, now that's GOOD NEWS!

I recently started a thread on Random Acts of Kindness and hoping it'll get some attention and some heart-warming posts...

My ex-father-in-law was from Cuba and I used to make deliveries there on my NAPA four-corner route.

Small world, and very small village now, in 2010 there were fewer than 1,000 people in Cuba. Can't seem to find actual count for 2020. i almost worked for the 2020 census and they were SO very disorganised, poor communication skills) and the Pandemic complicated things. Tho you would think more people would have mailed in the forms to keep strangers away. The 2019 estimate was 757 folks in Cuba proper.

@SmoothSeas Well I only just now found out that you did this but that you did it is, in my humble opinion, GOOD NEWS!
Thanks so much! I'm headed to your new thread now. I'll do my best to scrape up a little kindness. Might
Just have to dig a little deeper in the well, is all, but I'm pretty sure that kindness will always be with us. 😀
 
Now, if this isn't what GOOD NEWS looks like then I don't know what is! 😁😁😁

I've been praying for a friend of mine who is blind to find different, more affordable housing. Her prospects looked grim but now are looking up. I saw an application for new city housing on FB, let her know, connected with her daughter via email and they submitted her application.She may just get into a new place by December or January since she was called for an in person interview for the "first step" in the process. Please send out your prayers or positive energy that she'll get in.

Although there has been plenty of flooding and even tornadoes throughout the tri-state area, we were untouched in my neighborhood.

So far this year my portfolio is 23% higher than my goal for what my projections were and my goal for the end of 2021. Of course a market crash would change that....but should still leave me at my goal amount, at the very least.
 
My good news is...........actually, I have two this morning. One is that I am finally interviewing a woman to be my aide. I have been searching since March!

The other good news is Colorscape 2021 is being set up in the 4 parks just across the street from me as I write this. It starts tomorrow. Colorscape is a outside festival about art with artists selling their products in tents all over the parks. It also has entertainment in the forum of live music, all day and all kinds. Plus jugglers and puppet shows. Art lessons that are outside and many focused on children and they are all free. There will be food vendors with carts of all kinds of stuff (but my opinion of those is that they are too expensive). It is a yearly thing but of course, last year it was skipped.
 
Moved from one of those "Good News: (specific piece of it) Threads. Why must people do that? Use a title that makes finding the one for various 'good news' more difficult???

i would love to meet the Waldron parents. They raised some terrific kids as evidenced by this classic Best Man Speech with a younger brother making jokes at his older brother's expense. It is particularly touching and awesome (to me at least) because the Best man is on the Autism Spectrum. Yet in the process of the typical chiding of groom in best man's speech it's clear he's made a positive mark on his peers and community. Of course, we are now learning that there are many Boomers and Gen Xers who are undiagnosed, but on the spectrum (but that topic deserves own thread sometime, somewhere on the SF), which means that certain parenting styles can allow those on 'high end' of spectrum to at least function in society--hold jobs, have friends even marry.
