I agree with this wholeheartedly! I detest the news. Stopped watching or listening a few decades ago and have found that if there's anything I really need to know, people will invariably tell me.

I can't cope with negativity, negative energy, people who are fear-based and focus on gloom and doom. I don't live there and I don't have those people in my world.

Thank you for sharing this. Such a lovely story!

I wonder if you might like to write for a new pub where I'm editor? The owner's theme for it is that the pen is tethered to the heart and I think you'd fit right in.

And/or maybe my pub? Hope, Healing and Humour (guess what the themes are?! Haha).

No pressure, of course, but if you're interested in one or both, the relevant links are below.

Thank you for an inspiring read!
