I haven’t watched the news in about thirty years, since I gave up on TV. But this past few weeks, with the primaries going on, I didn’t want to miss anything, so I went to the news stations on the computer.
Jeez, what a mistake! I can’t believe all the bad news that I have been missing. I would go to look at the results and the issues and get caught up in stories about people murdering their kids, the failing economy, lost pregnant marines, etc., etc.
I finally realized that I was getting very anxious today and tracked down where it was coming from. So, now I’m going back to sweet oblivion, putting my focus back on health news alone. I already chose my candidate so I really don’t have to struggle through the nasty ups and downs of campaigning. I’m sure I’ll hear about it when he wins. In fact, although people wonder how I live without the news, I find that I always know important things pretty quickly.
Peace be with us all, even if we have to close our ears to the hubbub that we can’t change,
Pam
