Welcome to melvtopia

Friends tell me that I always see the positive in any situation. It's not exactly true and sometimes it's hard to do, but I realise how lucky I really am so I don't think I have much of a right to be miserable.

I thought it was time to start a blog about the positive things. There won't be deep thinking, or analysis, or great insights in this blog - just an attempt to see the glass as half full whatever the situation.

I can't promise I'll always succeed - hell, this is a week of terrorist attacks in Mumbai and Woolworths going into administration - but I'll give it my best shot. And feel free to pitch in...
