I changed the blog name because it is really an exercise in positivity and looking at the bright side. Perhaps I should have a dueling blog called "Tell me something bad" where I mitch and boan about everything. I read somewhere that complaining in a journal actually makes people more depressed while keeping a thankfulness journal makes people happier.* So... this can be my thankfulness journal.
Even if you are only 16 you still have an effect on the world...
*I do think, however, that happy people are more likely to keep a thankfulnes journal to begin with and depressed people are more likely to complain.
I picked the name "Tell me Something Good" because that is what my brother Colin says on his answering machine. I talk to Colin's answering machine about 10-20 times as often as I talk to Colin himself. He is 16 , so that is his excuse.
