Community Shout-Outs: What's Going Right?

What's the good word? Share your positive news and views in our weekly forum.

We all read and see a lot of negative news every day. Napa Patch even has a weekly Sound Off feature where you can rant about what's bothering you.

But there's also one place every week that is devoted to only the good stuff:  on Napa Patch.

Here's where you can share the positive news about what's going well, who's doing good things and what makes you happy.

Last week, our shout-outs even included a tender and joyful tribute by one reader to her late grandmother: Denise Mortimore wrote Saturday,

My grandmother passed away yesterday but today I'm reminded how lucky I am! She lived 94 glorious years! She had two amazing children, 4 amazing grand children and 8 beautiful great grandchildren! I'm so blessed to have had her in my life for 37 years and for THAT I am happy! I'm overjoyed to know she's dancing with my grandpa in heaven...something she couldn't wait to be able to do again!

What are you happy about today? Here's the place to share your good spirits.
