lets flip that...

as I strive to re-enter mainstream society and reengage with local, national, and international news, I have found that I am quickly reminded of why I originally boycotted this media. let's take a look at all the heartwarming, positive, and inspirational news I read this AM:
  • "wild storm leaves behind damage, injuries"
  • "Indonesia tsunami toll hits 343 as bodies found"
  • "college tuition costs climbing again this fall"
  • "foreclosure activity up across most US metro areas"
  • "high exposure to BPA linked to low sperm count"
  • "urgent request for Jackson tests"
  • "giants rough up Lee for 11-7 win in Series opener"
phew...well, if that wasn't a painful way to start the day, I'm not sure what is! I don't like flooding my body and mind with so many negative thoughts...how did it become normal to spread "news" like this?! isn't there anything GOOD happening that we'd also like to talk about? let's see if I can flip the perspective on these news blasts...bring a smile to my day instead of a heavy, life is horrible feeling...ha!

"wild storm amazes onlookers with our earth's beauty!"
Menacing Sky


"Indonesian Red Cross brings supplies and hope to people displaced by the tsunami"

"According to the U.S. census, Americans are more educated than ever before, with a greater percentage graduating from high school and college than a decade ago."

"In Illinois, the foreclosure rate is trending down"

regarding sperm, the only thing I can find to say is that a friend recently told me he had "super sperm". this reinstilled my confidence in procreation...but also made me somewhat nervous...ha!

Michael Jackson's awesomeness is celebrated by "rocking" with him

and regarding the giants, this headline actually did not seem that negative...but i would still like to redirect you to an amazing post by a good friend about the giants...it is very well said :-)

so with this much improved perspective on daily news, I start my day :-) happy thursday everyone.
