Day Two

This year I feel like there is just so much pain. A lot of people have been sharing their stories with me and it breaks my heart to see such heartache. All week I've been asking myself whats happened to this world and the people who live in it? When did we allow ourselves to be so selfish and mean? I feel like there is so much evil spreading...and it makes me wonder if there even is any good left.

...Today I found some and it made me smile. Today I witness a helper... She was kind and sweet and caring and wanted to protect. It was nice because it reminded me that there is still good out in the world.

Mr. Rogers once said... "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." To this day, especially in times of "disaster," I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world."

So remember that statement when things look bleak. Look for the helpers because you will find them.

That's my reason to smile. :)
