It's been mighty serious around here lately. On recent programs, we’ve discussed political power in Texas, campus carry, medical power of attorney – all important issues, to be sure. But let's face it, sometimes, the news can be downright depressing.

When faced with a cavalcade of such seriousness, we devote a portion of a show to discussing some good news — those things happening in your life and in your community that make you happy. We feel it’s time to do it again. So, on this edition of Houston Matters, we take a break from the trials and tribulations of life in Greater Houston to accentuate the positive. It’s time for another round of #HappyHouston.

We take a little break from the trials and tribulations of Greater Houston to accentuate the positive. And we welcome any uplifting news you have to share. It could be about your own life, or great news for a loved one. Or something in the news you’re really jazzed about.

E-mail us at talk@houstonmatters.org, and we’ll share the good news during today’s discussion about #HappyHouston.

We also draw some positive vibes from Houston Public Media’s Ernie Manouse and Station Theater co-director Jessica Brown.
