When the war in Iraq started, I went into a depression state. I felt constantly worried and agitated and it was hard to enjoy doing things I loved to do. Then I found your site. It lifted my spirits and helped get me out of the funk I was in. Now I’m going to school and enjoying the things I like to do. - Camry V.

I realize how this event (the "Miracle on the Hudson") had touched people's lives, how ready they were for good news, how much they wanted to feel hopeful again. We've had a worldwide economic downturn, and people are confused, fearful and just so ready for good news. They want to feel reassured that all the things we value, all our ideals, still exist. - Captain "Sully" Sullenberger

Every day I get to work in the morning, get my coffee, jump online and read the news. Every day I go home sad and depressed...  Then I found your site and after reading the first story I immediately felt my spirits lift and I never went home sad again. Reading ordinary news we get a sense that that's all there is, but your site reminds us the world is not as bad as the news would lead us to believe. Thank you for everything.  -Sean Nolan, New Zealand

Sufferer of Depression and Paranoia Finds Hope With Good News and A Place to Focus Thank you so much for your website. I suffer from depression and paranoia, I feel like I can never truly be happy as I always get this sense of encroaching doom. I am not able to let my defenses down at the risk of feeling naive. Your website is just what I need to focus. Most of my fears are heightened by media sensationalism, which eventually boils down to being little more than hype. We all need hope for the future, or else what do we have to live for? Best wishes from South Africa Mike July 17, 2006

When I read the newspaper, I look for the good news because every thought we think changes our biochemistry. Your hormones are all affected by your thoughts. Pay attention to things that bring you joy. - Dr. Christiane Northup

My daily habit a year ago was to read the news with my morning coffee. I felt the entire world was falling apart and getting worse day by day. Then I read some research on the effects of bad news, and made a conscious choice to read uplifting stories... Now I’m excited about all the wonderful things around the world, instead of feeling helpless. When I read the stories on GNN I feel empowered, included, and encouraged to get involved.  - Kerrie S., OK

Drowning in coverage of terrorism; Searched for positive news, Felt better after just 10 minutes As of late I've felt suffocated by today's news that rains down a storm of bad news. Tired of drowning in coverage of death, war, terrorism, etc. I decided today to search the web for positive news, instead of just news. I discovered the Good News Network. Thank you for lifting my spirits, after only 10 minutes of reading I felt better about the world in which we live. Paul Lastovica March 22, 2003

“Just wanted to say THANK YOU for existing! Thank you for spreading the love, the care, the good news and show the good in humans!!! If everyone makes a conscious choice of watching positive, uplifting contents, they wouldn't be angry, depressed all the time. Each one of us can get inspired and influenced to make a good action. It doesn't have to be huge. Just a little smile, hello in the elevator, holding the doors etc... The positivism and good actions can be contagious. Hope every one gets infected! Have a great day and god bless all!” –Christal Torres
