Good News

Good news includes all the things which make us happy or otherwise feel good. It can be personal or public. We never know when something wonderful will happen, and when it does, most people want to share it with someone. It's disappointing when nobody is there to appreciate it. Happily, blogging allows us to share our joys and pat each other on the back.

What good news have you had recently? Are you anticipating any more? Have you found a cute picture or a video that makes you smile? Is there anything your online friends could do to make your life a little happier?

Poem: "The Fourth for My Enemies"

This poem came out of the November 2, 2022 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired by prompts from chanter1944 and rix_scaedu. It also fills the "Local Restaurant" square in my 11-1-21 card for the NCIS Bingo fest. This poem has been sponsored by a pool with fuzzyred, ng_moonmoth, janetmiles, and edorfaus. It belongs to the Trichromatic Attachments thread of the Polychrome Heroics series. It follows "The Things You Do," "Never Accept an Apology," and "Spiraling Out of Control," so read those first or this won't make much sense.

Warning: This poem contains intense and controversial topics. Highlight to read the warnings, some of which are spoilers. It includes a supervillain getting into assorted trouble while not dealing with personal issues, worried friends, problem drinking, drunkenness, vomiting, awkward conversations, and other challenges. If these are sensitive issues for you, please consider your tastes and headspace before reading onward.

Birdfeeding

Today is partly cloudy and less cold.

I fed the birds. I've seen a large flock of sparrows, a couple of doves, and a squirrel.
