Are you are tired of watching and listening to the ongoing political misery drudged up by the Apprentice of Elon? I can only watch the major news channels once a week or I have trouble sleeping. There are other networks you can look at that deliver positive, uplifting news stories. The goodnewsnetwork.org is one such free online service. Here is a sample of what it posted last week.

The number of Monarch butterflies wintering in Mexico has doubled this year, which proves this species is thriving. This seems to be due to a decrease in drought conditions and better forest conservation practices along their migration route.

The Lowe’s company in the U.S. are investing nine million dollars to fifteen non-profits to provide trades training for skills like carpentry, plumbing, and HVAC repair. One of the recipients is the Boys and Girls Clubs.

In Sweden, scientists have just figured out a way to recycle solar power cells using only water, thereby making it a truly clean energy source from start to finish. Previously old solar cells ended up in landfills.

Positive breakthroughs like this never make the news cycle. Reading about them makes me feel encouraged and happier in my day to day life. You can google “positive news” and find other similar networks. Starting off your day with a story like these can help lift your mood.
