Hello BerNews, Great idea having the link to “Good News”. There are plenty of Good Happenings out there that does not get published, may good happenings continue & more be published. I feel the publishing of Good News helps to encourage others to do Good deeds & also gives readers something positive to look at, as there are many sad & bad stories being publicized. BALANCE IS SHOWN, BLOOD PRESSURE DROPS!
