Did wonders for my daily happiness.

It is very rare to see encouraging and uplifting in the news, which is why I rarely keep up with it.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12692170857496442623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333641034607261236.post-47668173395766482902014-08-31T12:46:41.605-04:002014-08-31T12:46:41.605-04:00Hey Fran.

After a a few months of watching cable news and other shows, I've quickly realized why I did not have a TV for so many years. The news is a real downer.Bmore Bungalowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809187061540149960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333641034607261236.post-5946524568906157142014-08-31T12:42:28.838-04:002014-08-31T12:42:28.838-04:00Ha!

I occasionally go onto CNN to get the latest news worthy topics, but I NEVER watch/look-up/read the local news. I sometimes worry that I am isolating myself too much, but in today's society, I think it's important to shield yourself b/c all you hear on the news channels these days are the horrible/sensational things - baby locked in car, etc. Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04708695042866116444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333641034607261236.post-16401253084979106822014-08-30T17:46:25.085-04:002014-08-30T17:46:25.085-04:00I'm exactly the same way.

It's a conscious decision I made about a few years ago, and we don't put/leave TV on for that purpose (and you don't want your kids watching TV all the time anyway.) My husband read news online when he feels like it, and it's been a great change for us. It's so much easier to focus on the good instead of the bad. I wouldn't mind subscribing to a newspaper that is full of wonderful news from around the world though :) Studio Yuko Jones https://www.blogger.com/profile/04839090621639281035noreply@blogger.com
