Positive News Only Day - Did it work?

Yesterday 10 May was Mother's Day in many parts of the World. That was certainly the case here in Oz! It was also the first 'Positive News Only Day' on twitter.  The original idea came from Kneale Mann (Twitter address #knealemann).  Many people started promoting the idea over the past week or so.  If you are a twitter user take a look at #gnod.  You'll see thousands of posts and it's pretty well impossible to work out how many people heard about the idea.

Was it worth it?  Well, I'm thinking that if just ONE person was able to give some good news it may have made a difference to them.  And if just ONE person was on the receiving end then that's pretty good too.  A lot of effort just to make one person happy?  Not if you're the one...!

But my guess is that it might have made a lot more people just a little but happier.  Let's hope so! And just because it's 11 May now doesn't mean we all have to get grumpy again!  Good news is, well... Good news!
