A Little Good News

Thank you to the Duchess of Cambridge and Prince William. Thank you for the sweet relief of some good news. The proud parents emerged from the Lindo Wing of St. Mary's Hospital in London today and shared their newborn son. The baby, third in line to the throne, was born July 22,2013 at 4:24 p.m.. The announcement of his birth and subsequent debut had enormous global impact. It was, finally, good news.

The floods, plane crashes, fires, wars and homicides were interrupted by an act of love. The peaceful arrival of a newborn full of hope and possibility. We joined in reflecting on Princess Diana and all the goodness she represented. We were reminded of her soft-spoken gentle ways and tremendous kindness. We looked at her son and we were reminded of his mother. How very proud she would be.

Let us retain this feeling for as long as we can. Let us do good works. Let us celebrate this life and the hope he brings. The possibilities. The limitless possibilities. Let us join our mother country in this global celebration. Then let us act locally and in our very homes.

Toast this child. Do what we can to make this world a better place for him...for all the children. After all, today he brought us a little good news.

Nobody robbed a liquor store on the lower part of town... Nobody OD'ed, nobody burned a single building down... Nobody fired a shot in anger, nobody had to die in vain "...We sure could use a little good news today ...
