Today's episode contains a series of articles providing Proof Positive that their are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about the future.

Starting with the incredible story of Joe Burrow who led the LSU Tigers to a perfect 15-0 record this season culminating in the winning of the national championship.  That's a great story by itself but Joe's comments after winning the Theismann trophy show how we all have the power to help others.

Next is a story about a high school student who colllects books for prison inmates spurred by the incarceration of her own mother.

Finally, an article entitled We just had the best decade in human history!  That's a story you won't find on the evening news or read in the newspaper.
