From Our Community:

I subscribe to three weekly newsletters that provide a bit of hope each week, by covering what is positive news. They vary in terms of how good each is each week, but between the three, there are always several stories that make me smile.

• CNN’s “”The Good Stuff”” – https://www.cnn.com/newsletters/the-good-stuff

• The Washington Post’s “”The Optimist”” – https://www.washingtonpost.com/newsletters/the-optimist/
