I've decided that in this world where the media covers only the negative, I'm going to make an effort to look for the good. This Thanksgiving season is being totally overlooked and I refuse to do that. So......
Today when I got to Walmart first thing this morning and was walking toward the store, a lady was walking toward me with two full baskets of purchases. However, one of her baskets was being pushed along side her by an elderly man and as I drew closer, I could tell from the conversation that he was being a gentleman and helping her with her load. He got her to her car, asked if she needed further help, and then went on to find his own car. It was sweet and a good reminder that there are lots of good people in this world in spite of all the evil swirling around us. I am thankful for that reminder and for the people doing good.

Way to look for the good Mom. There's a lot of it out there!
You are 100% right. We can always find what we are looking for. Sometimes we just have to really look. One of my favorite movies by Disney is Pollyanna. Do you remember the seen she is talking to the preacher? Pollyanna has a locket around her neck and is trying to read it and goes cross-eyed. He then reads the inscription. It is a quote that is attributed to Abraham Lincoln. It says, “When you look for the bad in mankind, expecting to find it, you surely will. We can always find what we are focused on. If you look for the good in people, it’s out there. You go girl. There is a lot of good out there, we just have to look for it. But more importantly, I hope that people see it in us, God’s children.
