Back around Lent, I went on a media fast. It was trying, because I tend to stuff my poor brain with as much information as possible. To not be doing that was a stretch. A sacrifice. But, here lately, I've found that my life isn't hardly ever impacted in a positive way when I read news online, or read it in the newspaper. We just cancelled our subscription to our city's Sunday paper, and I think I'll dance around the online news sources more often.
The nonsense about the sw*ine fl* has been a big no-show concern, and the news about the pres*dent walking the grounds holding his wife's hand is definitely not news worthy. My husband has a theory (and he's not the only one) about the media. He says that when they make a big hooplah about issues, that they're diverting our attention from the real news. Maybe so. For whatever reason, I'm going to fill my head with other stuff.
On that note, I've got two pots of Marjoram to play with...the best-smelling herb on the planet, at least to my thinking, but also one of the hardest for us to find....oldest daughter bought me some flowers for an early Mother's Day gift! Plus a hanging basket of Impatiens and 3 pots of Petunias. She wasn't able to find the smaller six-packs, so gave me generous pots worth. Pink all around. Love it.
Will spend some time on schoolwork this morning, then on to cleaning up from the construction work of yesterday. A good day. I'm tired from the fuss, but looking forward to order again.
