I looked for a cheery news article to share. You know, something happy and upbeat to show the spirit was alive and well.

I found a boy who’s thriving after being born with his heart outside his chest. Everything else had a decidedly downbeat vibe: 10 dumbest things from Wall Street in 2008, Retailers who are simply trying to survive with the economy, and the weather.

The worst part about winter is the cold, snow, ice, sleet, and all that other junk. Why do I live in Iowa again? Luckily my husband takes care of the driveway and I don’t have to go outside the house again today.

Happy Holidays to all!
