Now, not so much. Like you, I am trying to Center My Zen. Every now and then, I stick my head back in, just to Be A Person, but I am always profoundly disappointed by the idiocy abounding there.

If I am driving somewhere, I do listen to NPR. I check out the Daily Kos (liberal news on line) about once a week mostly for the stupid things done by Republicans. But there are days I read/hear no news at all. <br /><br />As far as I can tell, the only difference that it has made in my life has been that I am less stressed. I wish there was a news source that would tell me only what I really NEED to know. Perhaps a state, local or national law has changed that I need to know about. I need to know the weather forecast only if it is changing significantly from todays' weather. And perhaps I need to know up to 5 top headlines from a news source that are not about sports or entertainment. If I want to know more, I can look it up.<br /><br />There are some online sources that supposedly do that, but they don't filter out the things I don't NEED to know very well. And most come with advertisements that clutter the pages.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105598015852813723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-58139375500453927202014-11-21T17:50:00.670-05:002014-11-21T17:50:00.670-05:00Bug--I thought you would!Bug--I thought you would!Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-38751673210766724572014-11-20T20:24:32.364-05:002014-11-20T20:24:32.364-05:00Oh indeed.
