positive

All to often we get caught up in the 'doom' and 'gloom' version of reality, that we ignore the more positive meaning in our life. Recently I had a run in with a distant family member who had been caught up in all sorts of nonsense. Conspiracy theories, religious prophecy, you name it, and he...
