About
One million good things.
That is the goal.
On January 1st, 2009 at 12:00 am EST, I will begin broadcasting 1,000,000 good things.
One new good thing will be posted every half an hour until January 15th, 2066. I am 28 years old now. I will be a month short of 86 years old then, assuming I live that long.
There are so many times in our lives when we’re feeling down or overwhelmed, or when we feel like we’re not meeting our goals, or our deadlines. During those times, I often try to think of just one good thing.
So here’s a million of them, for everyone.
Starting at the very beginning of next year, you will be able to come here at any time of the day or night, and read good things.
Also, until I know about a million good things, you will still be able to come here and tell the world about a good thing. I will post the current total below, just before the form (it will be updated daily, if not more often).
All of the content, all one million good things, will come from people just like you. Until I get a million queued up, I will continue to accept new submissions.
So until then, any time of the day or night, if you think of a good thing, just come back here and send it to me. I’ll need to get as many as possible before next year.
From now until next year, this page you are on will be the only thing on this site. Hopefully we can get a few thousand good things submitted before the end of the year, after which this site will start posting the good things automatically. For the next 57 years.
So let’s get started. Tell me a good thing.
Just say in a single sentence, one good thing.
51 good things so far (in just the first few days). Many of them have been absolute gems so far.
Four last things:
1. I will never, ever use your e-mail address for anything. Period. The form needs it so it can send a failure notification if something goes wrong.
2. Please tell your friends about this. If this is going to work, it’s going to need lots of exposure so enough people can hear about it and submit good things. You can use the tools at the bottom to help promote this.
3. You can subscribe to this site’s rss feed by clicking here.
