I so believe that we need more good news in the papers and on TV... our thinking is coloured by what we read and watch, and the 'diet' of gloom that we are fed does not nourish us well. I read a wonderful story at the weekend - see http://www.timesonline.co.uk/printFriendly/0,,1-2-1857930-2,00.html.
This is a great story, not just because of the positive attitude of the young Iraqi girl, Hannan Shihab. What struck me most was the strength of Katrina Turner, for taking action, presumably with her friends and family thinking her daft to attempt something like this. Her hard work must have sometimes felt like a lost cause, maybe crazy even. But with perseverance, what a difference she made. I love stories that prove 'the power of one'. I love to be reminded that each of us can make a difference. If we had more of these stories every day in the news, perhaps we would all be inspired to take more action and to make a difference more often?
