I have been glancing at Google news and NPR news for the past month thinking I would stay better informed. I made sure not click on any of the links or read articles, I only read the headlines. But that wisdom showed me that some of my best thinking is not always my best thinking. In no time at all I found myself both angry and weeping for the world. So today as I journaled on my porch I wondered when was the last time we saw headlines with news of hope, love, compassion, tolerance, peace, forgiveness, acceptance, and stories of people who are making a positive difference in the world? Maybe that voice must come from each of us. I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

The headlines of the online “print” media are bad enough, I can’t imagine enduring the bombardment of cable TV news. At least online we can read the headlines and skip the articles. I always search for the good news but it can be discouragingly hard to find.
Looks like your weather is similar to ours, although hopefully without the (sniff, sniff, sneeze!) pollen. It’s just getting started here!

I just do not click on any of them. The headlines are more than enough for me. My solution is not to read the headlines. Yesterday we reached 91 degrees and today we only reached 62 degrees.

It’s the main reason I’ve paused my AI-Headlines post project. It’s hard to find any worthwhile headlines that aren’t “downers.” Have a positive and uplifting weekend, Monte! 😉

Seems none of the headlines are positive or uplifting so I guess that means it’s up to me how the weekend goes. And, so far it’s been good.
