Tonight I had some guests check into the hotel who were just complete friendly mid-west/southern folk with the sweetest country accent who were just so nice. Long story short they are here for awhile staying in the hotel because their brother is being treated at the hospital here for bone cancer and it's not going well. They looked like they had had a rough day and life was getting em down. And yet they still had the nicest and warmest smile and "hello!" when they saw me and my co worker. Just good people trying to make it day by day.
There is too much negative energy and news in the world that is broadcasted and shoved down our throats. I remember I use to think they should just have a news outlet that only does happy news and reports on stories that are positive. I admit I am guilty of participating in constant negative comments or thoughts or viewing of things that don't do anyone good.
So without further adieu.....HAPPY NEWS
A boy asked this officer, who was taking a routine vandalism report at an elementary school, if he was a cop, because his mother told him a cop would always help him when he needed it. When the cop replied, yes, I am a cop, the boy asked him to help tie his shoe.

Thanks Big Bird, you got me all teary eyed
Back in my Hawaii days someone I deeply care about opened up to me and I learned that their mother had passed away from cancer when he was 16 I believe. I still to this day can never grasp the struggle and emotional hole that must have been in that person's heart not having their mother. My heart will always go out to them and I think about that each mother's day. I'm always reminded each mother's day how LUCKY I am and that doesn't even reach what level of bad ass, kindness, and just overall saint that my mother is and what impact she has had in my life and all those she touches. Kindness is the biggest thing I have learned from my mother. Now while I am not the greatest example of it, I try. And with these stories of kindness and goodness that are in this world that go on day to day without anyone knowing it; it makes you think What A Wonderful World. It is a good world.
Happy Mother's Day y'all
