Similar designs have appeared on my screen before. This time I could not resist the urge to render.

Today’s Gratitude Item: That 2016 has been a really good year for me. In the news too many articles tend to focus on the negative and this is a pity as if one is not careful, it can colour life (and not in a good way). Perhaps my new year’s resolution for 2017 should be to avoid the news as it is depressing and generally sensationalist / inaccurate.
