IS THERE ANY GOOD NEWS OUT THERE?

IS THERE ANY GOOD NEWS OUT THERE?

I am wondering if there is any good news out there to cheer us up rather than constantly hearing about war, unemployment, bank failures, terrorist attacks, earth quakes, floods, volcanoe ash clouds, tornadoes, and the list can go on and on. If I have left anything out, please add to the list.

In addition to the above items, we all have our own realty called life that we face everyday that includes family, budgets, illness, jobs and this list can also go on and on. No matter what stage of life you are in, these are all real occurrences in our lives.

We cannot ignore them, and they do not go away by themselves. These situations have been around since the beginning of time in different ways, but they have always been there. The good old days are good because our minds filter out the bad and remember mostly the good.

SO! What can we do to escape this 24/7 negative state of mind?

We can not run away from our responsibilities and just pack and leave or step away from them permanently. However, we can check out from the “Reality Hotel” for short times to refresh and start all over again.

My escape is when I get home and get out and walk or exercise. I walk away from reality for a short time to have “my space” all to myself…. just me, myself and I. I’m not with anyone else. On weekends I get out early in the morning to get refreshed so I can enjoy the rest of the day after I come back from “MY SPACE”.

You all need to find your own way for get-away time. We all have something that we enjoy doing alone. Find out what it is and do it. In the GOOD OLD DAYS, guys used to go to the garage and work on their cars as an escape. Since cars are all electronic now, even that has been taken away from us.

Find your escape, get recharged, and do it regularly. Do not let anyone else interfere , discourage you, or prevent you from doing it. You will be a happier person for yourself, family, friends, co-workers and have a better state of mind to face all the challenges of the day and your tomorrows. Also, stop complaining about situations over which you have no control. It gets you down and also negatively affects others. Don’t add to their bad news.

Take a vacation in your mind. It is less demanding than a vacation out of town that requires you to have another vacation to recoup.

Take some time every day to feel refreshed so you can handle your challenges more effectively.
