Thought of the day

In one of his books, and various speeches American writer Kurt Vonnegut introduced his uncle Alex, who would often complain that human beings rarely noticed when they were happy. So, in order to notice and appreciate those moments, now and then he would interrupt whatever he was doing and exclaim “If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is".

This seems like good advice on a day when the news is depressing and yes, we need to consciously mark the times when things are good, so they don't pass unnoticed.
