Hi, all, and happy Sunday. It was a tough week. It was also a great week. Let’s give the latter just a little more weight, shall we? Read the below; relish it, celebrate it, and share it! Remember, what we focus on grows. So focus on the good stuff for a few minutes. You’ll feel better, I promise!

Watched the recorded correspondents' dinner last night, and Joe was funnier than Roy Wood Jr, kudos to his speechwriters ;-)
And, heartwarming that B Hayes with 25 friends will get their own prom due to the overwhelming support from their community after they were not allowed into the school prom because of wanting to wear a suit instead of dress... seems like a ridiculous rule that all females must wear a dress, when really, I've seen some beautiful pantsuits worn for formal adult occasions.
edit/add: and THIS was brilliant - "The World Wide Web was the brainchild of Tim Berners-Lee, a 37-year-old researcher at a physics lab in Switzerland called CERN. The institution is known today for its massive particle accelerators."
It's really amazing that many of us are old enough to remember a time before WWW existed...
A rare comment on my part to thank you for all the good news you post on Sundays. Sometimes, I catch my breath-it’s such good news. Some of it that I didn’t know. Really appreciate your activism every day - but especially the Sunday wrap-up. A long list of positives is very very supportive and encouraging, as we face another Monday, another week.
Wow! B Hayes prom!! CFA letter to US Attorney re: TN Speaker Sexton!!! Disney V DeSantis!!!! American ( S. Korean ) Pie!!!!! The week was SO great, I ran out of exclaimation points. Love you, Jessica; you're the BEST
Everything you included made me smile. Thanks, Jessica! Also apparently governor of WA signed bill banning sale of assault style weapons, and Colorado and Maryland also strengthened gun safety.
“My friend, Jimmy Madison.” Biden is quite funny about his age. Good one, Joe.

This is so nice to have positive headline after positive headline!!!!! Thank so much
Lots of good news, Jess. Thanks.
The npr article on the teen who was kicked out of prom was amazing. Thanks for sharing
Kolfage is a nasty piece of work but I still feel bad for him having to go to prison as a triple amputee. I hope he's treated decently.
Thank you. ❤️
What a wonderful way to greet the day! Thank you, Jessica, for reminding us that we’re making progress, one step at a time.
Jessica, I really appreciate you sharing all the good 💗 I especially liked the video of American Pie-very heartwarming 🌸
Thank you, Jessica! This is such a boost. Great way to launch a new week. I will share :)
Thanks. Really needed that today.
