Interesting you should mention this. Last week I found myself feeling increasingly pessimistic about ...everything... As a news junkie, I was reading WAY too much of the negative news on my feeds, listening to the talking heads in the car, and generally OD'ing on negativity.

Sunday morning, I got up and resolved to read and/or listen to only local news from my two communities, good news and science and nature articles for a week. I switched the car radio to an all music channel. Halfway through the week, I am feeling much better.

I agree with you and I pretty much stay away from all cable sites…and a certain all new radio station here does nothing but blather one bad news story tidbit after another, then dozens of negative (designed to help?) ads by companies and then there are the studies that say
or suggest any number of ways people are going to have to deal with bad health issues….that are bound to happen….
It’s much better to come and share and possibly help, with
positive feedback from others who come here to share their experiences and to receive and sometimes I hope help by sharing and offering good advice.. I feel like I have a place to come to
when I’m feeling worried about any number of things…you are doing the right thing by turning away from the bad news channels…unfortunately there aren’t many good news stations that I’ve been able to come upon….may your day go well..🙏 pvctom
