The photo was taken at the top of a mountain and there were rocks everywhere, but I saw these beautiful little flowers growing out of the rocks. There is always some good in every situation, we just need to look for it. It is there, hidden beneath the &#8220;rocks.&#8221; &#8220;Look for the good!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Going through one of the hardest times in my life, that of losing my son, I have been amazed at all the good surrounding me and even more amazed I can see it. I try and look for the good in all situations and even post a &#8220;good story&#8221; every morning on Facebook. Some days it is hard to find one amongst all the negativity that is being shared. But I do it to honor my sister and now to honor my son. I also do it because it proves to me that there still is good to be found, we just need to look for it. It helps me to know that not all is lost and good things are happening out there every day.<\/p>\n<p>There are also a lot of good people and I have seen this first hand lately. People that have stepped up to help me and are there for me every day. There are some people you just know are going to be there and then others who surprise you and come out of no where to help or just lend an ear and let you talk. I really feel most people are inherently good and want to spread goodness, but then somehow life gets in the way. Bad things\u00a0happen to them and all they can see is the evil that is out there and it makes them unable to see anything good. Or for them to do anything remotely good.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;Life is neither good or evil, but only a place for Good and Evil.&#8221; ~ Marcus Aurelius<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>This whole &#8220;finding the good&#8221; thing is easier than you think. We need to put good out there and it will come back. Maybe if we all stopped the negative talk and thinking and tried to find the good we would see a change. It is so prevalent on social media and tv that it of course alters our way of looking at things. There are people who have nothing positive to say about anything and then there are people who really do good things but\u00a0you don&#8217;t hear about that. This could be changed\u00a0if we would all just live by the old saying, &#8220;if you don&#8217;t have anything nice to say, don&#8217;t say anything at all.&#8221; \u00a0My parents taught me this as a young child and I really do try to live by it. I just wish others would. I really would like to see all of this negativity go away and for people to actually be nice to each other. Is that totally crazy of me to even think this could happen?<\/p>\n<p>I have heard it said, one person can change the world and we have seen that happen, both in good ways and bad. Maybe we can&#8217;t change the world but we can change our own small part of it by the way we look at it and react to it. We can try to do and see more good. We can put it out there and maybe, just maybe it will come back. What if we all gave it a try and just looked for and noticed the &#8220;good?&#8221; What&#8217;s the worse that could happen?<\/p>\n<p>I end as usual with a question and a quote. What do you think? Can we change things by doing and looking for the &#8220;good?&#8221; I look forward to your comments.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>&#8220;Keep putting out good.
