Sometimes the news can get depressing.

Murder, tough financial times and child abuse are all issues that have been reported on by Novi Patch in just the past week. We realize these stories are necessary, but sometimes they don't exactly put a smile on your face.

And we want you to feel good while reading Novi Patch.

So we decided to give you a forum to share good news.

If it's positive community news you want, this is place. Tell us in the comments what has made you smile recently or what you are feeling good about. We will keep this column going as long as the positive thoughts continue to be posted.

Or feel free to upload a photo to this article of something that made you smile.

So tell us your positive thoughts. GO!
