I Have To Back Off The News For Awhile. - Page 8

I think it's a good idea. The news will keep a few days.

I stopped watching news a couple of years ago. I do watch some at certain times, like the pandemic. But for the past few weeks I have stopped watching any news and I feel alot better. Too much news is depressing and makes you feel like there is no good in the world.

I think we all need to be aware, but not afraid. Since there is not an " ending date" when all the sickness, violence, and drama will end, it is constant tension. I check the headlines on my phone and get the local news and weather....the rest of the day, no news, especially on tv;

All I see is very little actual news, just opinions, and I am frankly tired of every one of them right now. Exhausting. I do appreciate so many in here who are encouraging to others and have a bright outlook...hard to do but we must! The Hallmark Christmas movies were a welcome respite. Wish I had taped some of them. Now if MLB can just stay playing their scheduled games! We have increased our walk time to an hour now 6 evenings a week. DH wears a brace so that's as long as we can go for now. It helps a lot just to watch the sun going down. Those pink sunsets never fail to make me smile.

Has this thread morphed into being argumentative and polical?
Will the mods shut this down as it has others ?🤔

I have no idea, it isn't my thread but depending on the remarks it could very well get shut down. When dealing with so many different personalities anything can happen.

The News and TV are both very stressful so I watch and read just enough to stay informed and up to date. This is getting to a lot of people but we have to continue doing our part with social distancing and masking up to keep the numbers down until we obtain a vaccine. Let's just pray it will be sooner than later and effective.
