When NORAD tracked Santa: Bruno Bowden on the TED Blog
This is an interesting story about how this cool tradition came about. I had read this story before, and it always makes me feel good.
The Post Office and their work with the letters to Santa program gets me too. (See Miracle on 34th Street. The original is the best.)
Both of these programs are examples of how good things can happen when people want good things to happen. It's so easy in today's world of hustle and bustle and economic troubles and terrorists and space junk falling to forget how easy it is to do this stuff. Another one is trick or treat. Imagine a world where everybody forgets their troubles and offers free candy to all the kids in the neighborhood. Every year at Halloween I think about how cool this is. (We live in a family area, no doubt. We probably have 100 kids come to the door. I love it.)
Do you find yourself shaking your head (smh) all the time, saying "What's this world coming to?" Do you sometimes feel like everyone in the world is selfish and self-centered? I know I do. I'm going to have to return to this post often. I'm tired of being cynical. I want to be positive. There's a New Year's resolution for you. Attitude adjustment. Do you need one too?
