No more! I’ve had ENOUGH!
I can’t take reading any more news; can’t hear anymore news. I need to unplug for a day. It seems the past few days the news has gotten me scared, depressed and feeling sick. Yesterday, when woke up I read news stories that got me sick all over. All I wanted to do was stay in bed all day; I did get up and try to be productive. I ended writing the piece about becoming an ostrich. Sometimes that is what we need to become. I wrote the piece for today’s blog then out it aside. This morning I thought about the poem and decided I just may need to become an ostrich today. I don’t think staying off Facebook will be one of my things, BUT I plan NOT to read any negative news stories or posts. If I find it negative it’s ‘scroll on’ for me. This may help out me into a better frame of mind; I only hope.
Think about the news the past few months; I cannot recall reading one good news story.
So today it’s my ostrich day! I have a book I want to read that the review said was a light hearted non-fiction. I will sit outside in my swing with coffee, water and a nice glass of wine later in the day.
Until next time....it’s NATIONAL ROCKY ROAD DAY, not my favorite of ice cream but I can give it a try.

June 2.... DAILY REFLECTIONS
I don’t want to watch the news....I don’t
want to read the news....I don’t want to
be on Facebook
The news is not good....riots....
protesting....looting....shootings....
curfews....still Corona lurks....ENOUGH
I need to be an ostrich for one day....put my
head in the sand....sure when it comes
out tomorrow it’ll be more of the same

OPTIMISTIC OSTRICH
© Scottie-ann Murphy
I’m turning off the news
I’m putting the newspaper aside
I’m not listening to the radio
I’m staying off Facebook
I don’t want to hear the news
I don’t want to read the newspaper
Nothing but more turmoil
Shootings....
Protesting....
Riots....
Looting....
Coronavirus....
Latest product recall....
I’m unplugging today
No television.....no radio
No electric devices for social media or
internet
I’m going to be an OSTRICH today
Put my head into the sand....read a
light hearted book
Take a cup of coffee outside in the morning
Ice water for the afternoon
Glass of wine in early evening
Tomorrow when I reconnect with the world
things maybe better
But....then....I’ve always been an optimist
