I try not to read the news anymore because it's so depressing and scary. But I truly don't know what's coming and even if I did, what can I possibly do to prevent it? I pray all the time and commit everything to the Lord. But seriously, what can anyone do to prevent what's coming?
Yeah, I have recently learned to hide my head in the sand ( if just a little) because even I cant listen to the news anymore

I might look a topic or two up on the news board out of curiosity (on certain things) but beyond that I just cant look at everything (not anymore) lol

So even online Im a little hesitent.

I'll be thinking, hmmm... just take a peek in, then this other voice kicks in saying "dont you click on that, you'll be so much happier not to know whats in there!"

That voice wins more nowadays (whoever that is) lol

Its like everything makes stomach tie itself in a million knots.

But I was like that with the mail (and opening it) for a couple of years, because my stomach would do that same thing depending on the sender. I would fret when the mail arrived, and would just stare at the envelopes for a while (feeling sick)

Man... I never had that before, and I dont understand why stress lays heavier on me now, it never had before.

Im wondering if its an age thing, or just a woman/ age thing, but not sure though.

If you look at it in the "Big Picture" view............the whole world, then, yes, it is clear there is little any one person can do. But when you look at "your world," the small slice of reality that surrounds your daily life, then there are things you can do to change the daily events taking place. Foremost is educating yourself about the events that are taking place, focusing on which events are having a negative impact on your little slice of reality, and seeking a way to influence change so that the negative aspects are turned into positive actions.

People tend to focus on World News, and pay little attention to Local News. If everyone focused on their Local News, realities, and worked to correct what needed to be corrected on a Local level, then, eventually, the reality of their world would change.

Reminds me of the quote for the day:

"You read the news. I don't. You get depressed and I'm feeling goooooood! A hundred years from now we'll both be dead and none of it will matter."

Ahh...

Good morning my wonderful awesome Family.

After a much needed long night (interrupted) sleep, I feel better... the sun is shining... I am having my coffee, and I have a very busy day today... that includes shopping, and cleaning.. and going to the hospital. I know I have said this many times... but I truly do LOVE you guys.. My family from afar. :)

I dont know much about how my SIL is doing, all i know is after they did that last procedure, she still sleeps a lot.. its shocking that her days aren't running together like ours is... she knows what year it is, who the president is... I think in about a month, she will be good as new :)
