There's a lot of scary depressing things swirling about the universe these days. I'm going turn off NPR, turn on the Old 97s, and find

Ten things to feel positive about:

1. It's raining! And it cooled off! And, on a meteorological aside, no one in America was killed by a tornado in March, April, May, or June, a feat that has never before occured since the NOAA began keeping records. Hooray for the lack of tornado related deaths!
2. You're going to rent your house!
3. A new issue of Bust arrived in the mail, and I got it before it got rained on.
4. The baseball season is at the halfway point, and the Cubs aren't in last place.
5. My life is comfortable enough that I can waste my time worrying about red tides and the lack of minorities in government and whether I'm contributing to the universe, instead of worrying whether today's the day I starve to death or lose my head to the rebels. Or the police. I wasn't born into a brothel in Calcutta.
6. I figured out how to hyperlink random text in Blogger!

Well, there's a start. Your turn.
