Good News, Bad News
Pond5 Inc.


It seems as if every time we turn on the news or read the papers that the headlines are filled with bad news. There are innocent lives being taken, terrorism, war, shootings, political backlash and other disastrous events that leaves viewers with little hope that there is any good left in the world. Why do media outlets focus so much on the negatives and not the positives, when an equal amount of both would be just as affective?

That being said, here I present to you this week’s Good News/Bad News

“Love Your Neighbor As You Love Yourself”

Good News: An 87-year-old woman in England was rescued by police after being stuck for 4 days in her bathtub with nothing but a towel to keep her warm. Thanks to the concern of a local waitress at the woman’s favorite restaurant police were alerted.

Bad News: When the police arrived, this is what they found:


“Meowsic To Our Ears”

Good News: Youtuber iAmMoshow, known for his raps about his love of cats and his so called “cat ladies” recently posted a song raising awareness of the effects of declawing cats. “If I saved one cat from being declawed, then I feel like I’ve done my job,” iAmMoshow said.

Bad News: iAmMosow soon realized even if he could save the cats from the effects of declawing he couldn't save himself.

"The World's Gonna Know Your Name. What's Your Name, Man?"

Good News: This week in the midst of election banter, news went viral of the newest addition to the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago that goes by the name of Alexander Camelton. The camel was born this past summer and there's a million things he hasn't done, but just you wait!

Bad News: The exhibit is sold out until 2017-2018 and tickets cost over a thousand dollars on average. You can thank the camel's mother, Lin Camuel Miranda.

“When Life Hands You Lemons…”

Good News: 7-year-old Sebastian Lucas sold lemonade for two years in hopes to save up for a pony. After raising $3000 his parents decided it was time to reward him for his work ethic.

Bad News: Sebastian’s parents have raised children’s expectation of parent’s across the nation making it harder for parents to just say NO!… as if spoiling children wasn’t a problem already.

"A Letter To Remember"

Good News: Ten years ago a young boy wrote a letter to a soldier overseas for a second grade assignment in which he invited her for pizza once she returned home. The letter even included a coupon for a local pizza restaurant. Ten years later U.S Army LT. Col. Sharlene Pigg tracked down a now 17-year-old Collin Martin and took him up on his offer.

Bad News: Here comes another Nicholas Sparks movie...

"Halloween Costume Contest"

Good News: Killer clowns have nothing on 8 year old Jeremy MIller! Each year his father builds his costume around his wheel chair and this year he is driving around a Ghostbusters Ecto 1 vehicle!

Bad News: As long as he doesn't get pulled over this Halloween for driving with on a sugar high, I don't think there could be any bad news to come from this!

How creative Jeremy! Happy Halloween!


I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween! That's all for this week's Good News/ Bad News Headlines! Stay tuned for more.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
