Several months ago, I stopped visiting all news sites. I’ve discovered that I have not missed one thing. The “news” is like a soap opera. You can miss several months of reading or viewing, then come back, and pick up where you left off. I still get some daily gleanings from my brother who insists on watching his propaganda….ah, news shows daily, but I try to stay in the other end of the house when he’s watching. And this comment section is closest thing to social media that I’m on. I’ve found that I am much happier than when I was constantly following the news.
