From pirates in Somalia, to violent elections in Kenya, the media seems to focus primarily on much of the bad news in Africa. So, the Doctor of Good News got to thinking, "How much good news is there in Africa?" I know, I know, "dumb question", but nevertheless, some people only see the bad, and don't recognize the beauty of Africa.

The Good News of Moxie
Although we may be stuck with a pretty tough economy for some time to come, it's clear that we'll have to rely on one thing, and one thing only to pull us through. Is it an economic stimulus or a couple extra bucks in our pocket? No. Or would it be all better if you won the Superlotto? Not likely. Thus, what's going to pull you through? MOXIE will? And best of all, you've got it!
During the Great Depression, this term came to mean someone with courage, resilience and a "don't quit" mentality. Yep, use your MOXIE, cause it's good news!
On January 20, 2009, our country fully embraced the Good News of hope, optimism, perserverance and community. With the election of Barack Obama as our 44th president, the United States proved once again that we are a nation built on a foundation of Good News. And by embracing the Good News of this election, we are now able to say, with confidence, that the world our children will grow up in, will be very different, and yes, better than the one we grew up in.

got any goodnews holiday videos? email 'em to us and we may post them on our site!
Even though the folks at iamgoodnews.com know that Christmas is about much more than presents and Santa Claus, we couldn't help but share this video that is a throwback to the pure joy that the holidays bring. Sure, it's a tad quirky, but it simply shows a family opening presents, sharing laughs with the grandparents and most of all kids having fun.

Finally! A disease that we all want to catch! Yes, it's now been scientifically proven that happiness is a disease! And dare I say, that that's some very, very good news. In short, research has shown that just one person in a group who shows, expresses or conveys happiness has a positive effect on the mood of others in that group. Often by doing nothing more than being optimistic and upbeat. Best of all, the reciprocal effect it has on others is immeasurable.
And now, with the recession officially upon us, now would be the time to test this theory out. Happiness is good news, and now you can literally spread the disease of good news to all those around you. The actual research and more details are provided below thanks to the fine folks at msnbc.com.
