THOUGHTS and SUCH....June 2nd



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

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
