Have a Good Day!

It has the potential to plunge one into a fuming
deep funk, all the news that is unfit to print
which inundates us daily, hourly and !this
just in! !!Breaking News!! when you read that
the morally unsalvageable UNSC has condemned 
Israel for taking desperate steps to protect its 
citizens from the malevolence of a terrorist 
group manipulating people it has steeped in 
misery to aid it in infiltration and chaos, when 
the DRC is battling a renewed outbreak of 
dread Ebola, when the Syrian regime has 
succeeded in taking yet more gains back 
from the rebels it names as terrorists fit only 
for slaughter which it obligingly does, when 
vile Islamist clerics preach to their faithful 
that universal Sharia is but a few years' 
distance, when areas of the world are coping 
with drought, floods, wildfires and crop failures
when totalitarian regimes prey on their captive
populations causing massive migration and 
privation. But rescue is at hand because it 
has been a beautiful day, warm and sunny
breezy and balming to the tired soul resting 
within you, when you hied yourself off to the 
spring woods for a leisurely stroll among 
the newly-leafed trees and took huge pleasure 
in seeing spring wildflowers in bloom, when 
a stranger alerted you that your credit card 
still sat in the cash machine and other strangers 
invited you to precede them in the checkout
because you had only one purchase, and they 
so pacifically smiled and so of course did you.
