turning off the news

we’ll see how often my wife reads this blog.………………………

consumed with  things i have no control over for years…………………………….opinions about this……………creating dissent at home, with friends, at work…………….ridiculous

enough…………………………….i believe in voting………………..don’t vote………don’t complain

but the hours i have spent listening to hundreds of different self- serving slants on the same thing……crazy

no more………………………..if i can’t find better things to do with my time………………….maybe i’ll learn how to knit

ashamed i have wasted so much time that would have been better spent reading or writing

one can stay informed by being awake……………………….news is everywhere

sometimes the only way things change is through time, and sometimes it’s too late…………….. and we are blessed if it’s not
