AVOIDANCE is my answer to keep the darkness from my door. I use to wake up to the morning news until it became constant BAD NEWS. Someone once told me bad news sells. Really? I know people that have stopped watching the news for that very reason. I do not need that constant negativity in my life. Even under Russia’s invasion, which is a horror, so many people have reached out to help the Ukrainian people. A light in that darkness. In whatever disaster, so many UNSUNG caring people are always ready to help. THAT is my news heard on talk shows, etc.
My home ( a very small condo) has become my sanctuary. A place of comfort and light. A place to write, dance, sing (off key), enjoy time with my friends and grandson and I refuse to let CONSTANT negativity in my home. COVID was enough.
At 75 I am nearing that final EXIT door, and I intend to enjoy whatever time I have left on planet earth, which, for me, is starting the day without negativity. I have traded that morning news for a muffin and tea, which makes me much happier.
