No news is good news for me. Sometimes its just too much and sends me into panic

I hate it when I am with friends and they start to discuss something awful that was on the news. Since I don't own a TV and do my best to avoid of the news, this is the one outlet for bad news that I have no control over. I guess I can tolerate it, but it is distressing, that is for sure!

My husband before he died had dementia really bad and the only thing he could follow on tv was watching the news and we watched it all day long. When he died I quit watching the news and reading about it. On my home page is snippets of stories and I stay away from them as well. It has almost been two years that I have not watched the news. It is too tragic and depressing and they do not get the facts straight at all.

There are always two sides to a story and the truth and I have had more than enough of nonsense.

I have thrived on not watching the news. I mostly watch Netflix and the Hallmark channel with sci fy thrown in here and there.

It was my choice to do so. I do not regret my choice.
