Let’s look on the bright side!

Many of you may be feeling pretty exhausted and depressed by the year 2016. I mean let’s be honest...Prince and David Bowie died, the 2016 general election was full of negativity, the shooting in Orlando, the Zika Virus Outbreak, and even Harambe died in Ohio.

However in the midst of naming 2016 as the worst year in history, there is still good in this world!!

Here is a list of things that might just restore your faith in humanity

1. Thanks to the ice bucket challenge the gene responsible for ALS has been found, which means we are closer to an effective treatment.

2. After an officer was killed, 4 days later cops from all over came to take his kid trick-or-treating Halloween night.

3. A boy named Ryan who was diagnosed with cancer at 16 told the Make A Wish foundation, “I wish to give my mom the wedding of her dreams.”

4. 8-Year-Old Noah completed a mini-triathlon with his disabled brother Lucas

5. Every Sunday, this New York Hair Stylist Gives Free Haircuts to the Homeless

6. An elderly man had a heart attack while shoveling his driveway. Paramedics took him to the hospital, then returned to finish shoveling his driveway for him

7. Jacqueline Kiplimo gives up winning first place in order to help a disabled runner finish a marathon in Taiwan.

8. Leonardo Dicaprio won an Oscar...finally.

9. People got married. Babies were born. Friends were made. Many were baptized. People got out of the friend zone. The unemployed got a new job. People beat cancer. Families were brought back together. Kids were adopted. The list goes on.

10. Lastly, be the change you wish to see in the world. Go and use the last several weeks to be positive, be kind, be the kind of person you want to see in the world!

Turn your frown upside down with a few happy thoughts each day...it can really make a difference! Be the Light
