Can we Have a Happy Day?

i am just as guilty as the next person who has posted snarky replies to other posts here on DU.

Recently, I've tried to take a different tact. I've been trying to say "thank you" and "good going" to other members who post positive posts.

So, can we have a day, or two, where we support our fellow members for their great posts? Can we not be approving by our silence and post a well deserved "thank you" or other positive messages to them?

The mood is a lot lighter and positive than DU typically is, though. We got too many serious grouches here! I'm kidding. Kind of.

Anyway,I try and do that here sometimes, even at "cynical" DU... And you are right, we should do more of it!

I have been so guilty of posting comments that are just nasty and snarky.

So maybe, just maybe, I can start to find the good and wonderful in people.
