Celebrating small wins starts with one painful truth. You’re 40 years old, looking in the mirror after an 11-year relationship ended. You were at your heaviest then. Today, for the first time in your life, you have cheekbones. The breakup was devastating. The weight loss is real. Which one is the good news? Both. That’s the point.

A Nova Scotia doctor completed seven hip replacements in one day. Tim Hortons launched Moon Bits in London, Ontario as tribute to astronaut Jeremy Hansen who’s flying around the moon on Artemis 2. Chapman’s ice cream called a snow day for employees during a winter storm and it made national news because apparently that’s shocking. The Jamaican bobsled team is returning to the 2026 Olympics with refreshed kits that honor the original Cool Runnings style. The pattern: good news doesn’t have a size requirement.

The breakup was the worst day. The cheekbones are today’s victory. Both are true at the same time, and that’s how good news actually works. It doesn’t erase the bad. It exists alongside it when you decide to look for it.
