A "good news" feature would be wonderful! Thanks for your continued support, Ricardo!

Good morning and Happy New Year, again! As I write this, the snow is falling fast! Temps are cold. I'm working from home and it feels good! Another great podcast. halfway through, I realized I had listened/watched the "Live" version. But to re-listen, reinforced many of the items discussed, e.g., other people's feelings, expectations, etc. In addition, the discussion about the news hit the mark HARD! I, too, have limited the amount of news I watch (if any). Why can't the networks have at least one day where they feature all the "good news" stories instead of brodacasting all the bad stuff, just to finish with a good story? But I digress. Glad I listetened to this episode, again. It was like getting my COVID booster!

My son has sensory processing disorder, too. Can you talk more about this? I find it fascinating. Most others whom I tell about it also find it interesting and haven't heard of it before.
