Brg, couldn’t agree more about staying away from negative people. I will also include negative and depressing outside influences. This July will be five years since my Mom died,three weeks after getting a clean bill of health. It finally hit me how life is short and you never know when it is your last day. I made a conscious effort right there. I have not read a newspaper, magazine, or watched TV news since that day. The only things I really follow are sports and once in a while weather. The only reason I hear about corona is from one sister who is semi obsessed with it due to health concerns with her husband. I do not follow current events or politics at all. I see people frothing at the mouth about all kinds of things and I am so glad I have not exposed myself to whatever they are going on about. What is even better is that when people try to drag you into one side of something or another, I just tell them I have no interest and I either change the subject or walk away. Life is a lot better. I don’t know what ever happened to people saying no comment, we will have to agree to disagree, you are entitled to your own opinion or just walking away. One sunset is worth more than a lifetime of media consumption.
