Sometimes we need a reminder... and that reminder now comes to you every day.
Even for the most naturally optimistic among us, it can sometimes be a little difficult to see the wood for what seems like a forest of cynical trees.
The extent to which so-called ‘bad news' dominates the headlines may – on the face of it - leave few reasons to be cheerful.
It would be easy to point the finger of blame at the news industry for pedalling a media market stall of gloom and doom but the simple truth is that some stories – disheartening as they may be – are so important that they have to be reported in full by the mainstream Press. And that squeezes out of the global news agenda some stories which deserve to be heard but are perceived as lighter, even insignificant items.
