News in the world

I have never been one who wants to watch the news.  When a person has anxiety like I do, knowing ALL the things that are happening in the world is not always the best thing.  Almost everything that happens on the news is beyond my control...and I need to not worry about it.  And worry is EXACTLY what I will do.  That is why I've always enjoyed getting my news from the newspaper...it allows me to "pick and choose" what I read.

I'm finding it a little tough to be online these days.  There is just so much in the world that is happening, and very little of it seems to be pleasant.  Between Russia/Ukraine, ebola, & ISIS, my anxiety level could be off the charts.  Add to that the fact that this is childhood cancer awareness month, and next month is breast cancer awareness month, and YIKES.  I am aware of these things, and they terrify me.  I know that I should learn to let go, and trust me when I say that I try...I pray for peace in my heart.  At the same time, I am who I am, and I think I better just take a little break from internet reading for awhile.

Don't worry though...I plan to still be posting.  I am enjoying my little corner of the world!
