I am ashamed to say this...but, I haven't kept up with the news hardly at all for a very long time...my last tv stopped working and it has been a blessing...its all garbage anyway, And my cable bill was insanely high...

I feel terrible I am so clued out about current events, but I just can't handle it...

I stumble on to headlines, and often am taken in by them, read, am horrified. And...can't.

My boyfriend often tries to talk about what's going on in the world, but I generally tell him,"No, stop I can't hear about it."

One thing I was regularly doing a couple years ago was reading "Positive News" online...there were a couple great sites with inspiring stories of the GOOD that is still happening in this otherwise messed up world...

Forgive me for not having any links, but encourage you all to do a search simply for "Positive News", and I shall too...that doesn't mean I ought to remain so clued out about what's going on, but reading about good things still happening in our world tends to restore my faith in humanity...

Indeed.

And whenever I have been on hospital , especially the emergency room, they have it on the channel that just keeps repeating the same stories.

Not at all soothing.
