    The news on TV, Radio and now interwebs is full of the drama, doom and gloom.

    So, let’s celebrate the GOOD News stories, like the positive, uplifting, happy, and well down right motivational!

    By the time you realise this part of my signature doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it.

    If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

    Success is the ability to go from one failure to the next without any loss of enthusiasm.

    Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement.

    Meditation makes doing nothing quite respectable.

    Here’s one I stumbled upon…

    In the current ‘migrant’ immigration drama, this story is pretty cool, IMHO.

    Sure, it’s a bit historical, but… Plenty of good news and motivation for the current migrants and their peers… Heck, probably good kick in the pants for a lot of us!

    When Tony Bernardi stepped off the boat to Australia in 1955, the 17-year-old Italian had nothing but a few pounds in his pocket and some very big dreams.

    Today, the 81-year-old oversees a supermarket empire spanning six stores and employs 500 people.

    But for Mr Bernardi, success was a decades-long, uphill climb…

    Ok, I’m on a roll…

    Just saw this on the news.

    When Gavin Sumner, 11, wrote his Christmas wish list last year for Santa, there wasn’t much on it. He had one very special request: new hands.

    Good story for him. Bad story for the ball manufacturer who didn’t get their name mentioned.. Titliest and Srixon get a free plug, but the successful ball that he even says is quite good, gets NADA!!!! Might have been a Vision πŸ™‚
