I like watching the news on TV.  However, it seems that every time I watch the news lately, all I see is violence, gore, and in general, bad news.  Sometimes it makes me wonder what is happening in the world.  All this is enough to make one lose hope and become jaded.

Until I ran across the blog The Napkin Dad.

It is really very simple.  A dad used to be jobless.  He had marital issues.  He drew cartoons on his daughter’s lunchbox napkins to pass time all the while thinking that they were being thrown away.  A year later, on Father’s Day, his daughters gave him a present – all the napkins that he had drawn on in the past year.  Now isn’t that sweet?
