Usually, when i read the paper, i get depressed. Even the on-line version, where i can skim over the potentially gloomy bits and go straight on to the Life & Style section, or the Culture-bit, where there's usually pretty pictures to look at, or reviews of films - that i will probably never go see - to read.
But even there is a gathering place for the cynically convinced, or the compassionately impaired, when i read some of the articles, or the reactions to the articles... What a bunch of negative people, what a load of unhappy souls... Is England not capable of being hopeful, or does that need to be batted into the sea right away, just in case it might be contagious...
Until i read this article - beaming with optimism, and feelings of hope, and so inspiring. I wish i had as much zest and confidence setting up a place like that - offering your time, knowledge and space to give others who are for whatever reason challenged by society or life somewhere to chill out. Life should not just be about making money...
Think i'll read this through a couple of times - it might be contagious...
