Thanks Fiona, had you ever heard of negative bias? I was so relieved to learn that there's a scientific explanation for it and that we are not just all weird!!

I loved reading this Susy. I think I'd better sign up for the good news articles as well as with all the dreadful news every time you turn on the telly, it's so refreshing to know that great things are also happening in this crazy world we live in.

Thankyou for this, Susy. I always strive to be Pollyanna and play the Glad Game. Harrowing news stories do affect me emotionally but I try not to dwell on things over which I have no control. I save reading the ‘Good news’ bits in the paper till the end so I finish my news update on a positive note.
