RE: Pausing for a Minute to Give Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving
You are so right about breaking above the clouds. When there is a storm they move above the cloud line and it's much smoother sailing.
I have a thing about the "news"...I don't watch it as it's full of negativity. So many people start their day with the news and then end their day with it. It can consume someone if they allow it too. And no matter how strong you are there is no way that day in and day out you can defend against the negativity that the news bombards people with. Add in the constant news cycle that so many people plug into and it becomes very easy to start taking ownership of the negativity.
Oh and yesterday it was 2 Great Grandma's and a Great Grandpa (Greats to my kids). So lots of Good Ole Days conversations to be had.
Thank you for stopping by, so glad to hear from you. Been to long since we have chatted. Hope you are doing good.
I think it is a good decision not to watch the news because the media actually choose to share the negatives way more than the positives and when we do hear an inspiring story it is so unliftng and encouraging. There are plenty of heartwarming stories happening every day but the media prefers drama and sensation and if an event is not dramatic enugh they manipluate the facts until they've grabbed the listener or readers attention. We really don't need that on a daily basis.
I'm doing well thanks...... ...keeping very busy but enjoying life immensely. Stay well and take care.
The shock value of a story is what matters. Since they have gone this direction it takes more and more to actually shock people so they go for even more shocking stories and wording of the stories. It's a downward spiral.
