To the Editor:
Often, letters to the editor are used to complain or criticize an issue. As the new year begins, I would rather offer a positive sentiment for your readers.
This is a quote from the Daily Word, with which I begin each day on a positive note:
“I may be tempted to focus on what is wrong with the world as headlines highlight stories of chaos and conflict. If I dwell on that news, I feel discouraged.
“Instead, I choose to focus on what is right with the world. I notice the inspiring evidence of goodness and peace being shared.
“People all over the world are helping others in distress. Volunteers build houses, grow crops, and provide medical care. Community members stand up for neighbors who have been treated poorly.
“I find ways to spread peace and love by sharing my time, skills and resources within my community and beyond.”
I hope this inspires many to volunteer part of their life for others. In giving, we receive.
