Oh Happy Days...

I have been thinking and wondering about how our family blog can make a positive impression on the world.  Why? you may ask.  I have been watching the news lately and saddened by all the negative junk out there.  You hardly ever hear anything good in the world.  So I ask myself why do my children and myself sometimes look toward the negative before the positive?  One because it is easier to see the bad in things before we see the good.  So I have decided everyday I will ask my children and myself 5 things that happen in the day that was good.  So hopefully this will be a little happiness in your day.
