“What you see depends on where you look.” Those words are a reminder that we can improve our mood, our day and our outlook on life just by focusing on the positive things in life, instead of the negative things. With that in mind, Tell Me Something Good! Let’s share our successes, the little things that make us smile, and everything good. And if you find yourself having a bad day, come here, read a while and re-find your own smile.

Wishing a happy birthday to two dogs...two wonderful, warm little wrigglers who came into my life 10 years ago this morning and stole my heart away.

Billy and Bonnie have always been gifts in my life. Thought I'd share them with you today. Thanks, Tien Tran, for the lovely photos.

Pat T. from New York found an amazing video. An entire hospital staff got together to promote breast cancer awareness by doing the pink glove dance. Enjoy!

My friend Joan finds the most amazing things to share. Ever wondered what would happen if a predator locked on you in her own environment? Check out this video of a National Geographic photographer as he becomes the center of a large leopard seal's attention. This potentially deadly encounter is chronicled in great photos and the photographer's recollections.

Happy Friday the 13th!

Here's some Friday the 13th folklore:

Today is the 3rd Friday the 13th this year. It’s the most times possible in one year.

Next year, there’ll only be one – in August

About 20 million Americans fear this day, some to a debilitating degree. That’s about 8% of us

An estimated 900 million dollars in business is lost each Friday the 13th

Most buildings don’t have a 13th floor and hospitals don't have rooms numbered 13, because so many people fear the number

People say they avoid flying or having surgery on Friday the 13th, but the airport and hospital managers say it ain’t so…there’s no perceptible difference in volume on Friday the 13th.

The stock market actually historically has a better day on Friday the 13th

So there you go...now have a lucky day today!

My friend Lisa Milby posted this to her FaceBook wall, and I want to share it with you today. Someone has taken Joe Diffie's "Ships That Don't Come In" and added a very moving photo collage, in honor of our military. It's perfectly appropriate for Veteran's Day. Enjoy.
