Not Everything Is Bad

This morning is terribly satisfying. The welfare kids I wrote about have been offered some bikes and winter coats since the story came out yesterday. I can only hope that such a quick response means that more will come for that lovely family...I can't be happier right now.

Such a rare thing to feel like I've helped anyone in my work. It's not a profession that lends itself to much more than silence on the part of pleased readers and grumbling on the part of angry ones.

Now to continue the day in order to return to your regularly scheduled pessimistic blogging.
