I continue to be annoyed by the negative "news" on the news. In fact, I rarely watch it. There is a lot of talk about "fake news." Well, the news outlets that talk about fake news also provide fake news.
Oh my gosh. Flights have been cancelled. Turns out it is less than 1% of flights in a given day. And the next day, the news has moved on to some other tragedy.
Oh my gosh! There is no baby formula. The president must do something or he does not care about babies. Hmmm. What do mothers do in poor countries? What did we do before the advent of baby formula? Yes, there are other options.
When I was in Lincoln at that grocery store, I noticed a lady checking out. Looks like she had some baby formula. And look at the supply in the baby formula aisle. Maybe the news should have told people to drive to Lincoln to get their formula.

| Look at all the formula she is buying. I wonder where she got it? She must have bought the last cans. Lucky girl!!! |
 |
| Then I found the formula aisle. OH, look! Lincoln grocery store on 27th street has tons of baby formula. Someone please tell channel 9. They will be so relieved. They can share the good news! |
Anyway, the next day, it was a non issue. Evidently supplies were back.
The news goes from one emergency to the next. And I think it keeps a lot of people stressed out. OMG there is a recession. What will we do? Hmmm. What did we do in 1987? In 2001? In 2008? I think we will survive.
What if the news focused on what was good and what was right? What if the news showed random acts of kindness? Maybe instead of filling people's brains with worry, they would inspire other acts of generosity.
Anyway, don't get sucked into the worry pit. If you want to worry, there is always something to worry about. Instead, be a part of the solution. Be a part of the good story. Create a good story. Be the good story. Change the world. Change your attitude and let it flow out to others.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
