Ive just been watching the first 15 minutes of the local news to see whats going on here and thats it. I dont watch the national news but maybe once a week. Its just too much.

I've actually felt very blessed lately, since I get very little news where I am. My satellite tv provider won't provide "locals" to my area because of a conflict between a couple local stations. The only time I see "local" news is if I happen to catch it at work. I don't watch the NY news reports, because the local stuff doesn't apply-- therefore, I don't get much "world" news either.

I used to think I "needed" to know everything that was going on. Now, I just hear about it by chance for the most part. Most of it, I'm glad not to know about. I can't control any of it, and I'm enjoying being a bit ignorant to world news right now-- or I'd be feeling that overwhelmed feeling myself.

Maybe you need to live where I live

I think I need to cut back on caffeine and the MEDIA. Then I'll be OK. What was that saying? Tune Out....tune in....I forget

Thursday I got a new bunny! Friday DH got a new vehicle and his old BBR back. Today my son got two motorcycles, a 50 for his son, and an 80 for his self!
Today my sister and I went to lunch, we spent 4 hours together!!
And now, I'm going to go play with my horsie.
Oh yea, yesterday when I went to take my horse a carrot, she was napping in her stall, and the chickens were all in there with her!

Yes! Let's make this into a happy thread, you start. What nice thing did you read in the paper lately? Or on the radio? Or anywhere? I'd truly like to hear it!

I didn't read anything nice today, mainly because I didn't do a lot of reading today, and the radio was off.

Turn off the TV. Go outside and appreciate the wonderful blessings that are in the spring. That always helps me smile.

Yeah, really. I need to not read anything anymore and just go outside. And breathe....

It rained all day here today. April showers bring May flowers. I was actually glad it was raining, we need it. Even then, I go outside anyway just to see what's going on, makes me smile too.
