My nominee for nice story of the week, is this story about the Miracle League, a baseball league for disabled children. The little guy in the photo suffers from a condition where his spine doesn't connect to his legs, but check out the look on his face as he closes his eyes and swings at the ball, and you can tell the people who put this league together are doing a good thing.
It's been an exhausting week, and this, for me, was a nice reminder that work isn't everything, and it's important to keep things in perspective.
The League has been an inspiration for the non-disabled participants too. Each of the players is assigned an "Angel in the Outfield" who assists the player during the game. 
This young man, who was in a program for trouble youth, came to the League the first time as part of a public service assignment, and now comes back on his own.
May we all do something this weekend to put a smile on someone's face.
