A little optimism for your Monday:

This weekend, I stumbled across givesmehope.com, and really wanted to make sure to share it with anyone that doesn't know of it yet.  It's a site that compiles super short stories with inspiring messages.  An example of one of the stories:

A little girl was dying of cancer and her younger brother had a match for the bone marrow she needed.
The doctors told him it was a matter of life and death.
After he had the surgery, he asked the doctors how long he had to live.
He thought if he gave his bone marrow to let his sister live he would die - but he did it anyway.
