I just read an inspiring and uplifting article. A snippet:
“Every day, another 250,000 people graduate from extreme poverty, according to World Bank figures. About 300,000 get electricity for the first time. Some 285,000 get their first access to clean drinking water. When I was a boy, a majority of adults had always been illiterate, but now more than 85 percent can read.”
NY Times
I saw the link to the article at Leo @ Not All News is Bad.
With Love,
Russ

I'm awed by the beauty of nature and the power of love and gratitude. Some of my favorite sensory experiences include waves crashing on rocky shores, waterways in ancient redwood and fern-filled forests, and rain. My wife and I have been married since 1979. We have 3 adult children and 5 grandchildren. I manage a wealth management firm that I founded in 2003. My Beloved is a Special Education teacher for Kindergartners and First Graders. I'm a published author of approximately 60 books in a variety of genres for grownups and children.

Thank you for helping to spread good news and the sources of same, Jan. So much goodness and kindness goes unreported that many people are under the mistaken impression that these are some of the darkest times in history when in fact by many standards they are among the brightest.
