But now that can be said of most all newscasts. So, like you I rarely watch. But of course, I hear. I see and am sickened. <br /><br />I intend to take full advantage of our town's Farmer's Market season this year as part of the continued effort to be healthy and as an extra bonus, less weighty.

But I don't know how we can protect all those who need protecting. 8thdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139355263412766126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931021721708713850.post-49317360189491771352014-05-07T12:39:43.998-04:002014-05-07T12:39:43.998-04:00i wonder about the news, 8. why the constant empha...i wonder about the news, 8. why the constant emphasis on conflict? i've noticed that brian williams ends his newscast with an upbeat piece, but just that one. <br /><br />i think we all need to think as if we are the underground railroad and just keep protecting each other.<br />xoxoxokjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931021721708713850.post-53759548600795519002014-05-07T11:38:04.948-04:002014-05-07T11:38:04.948-04:00I can't even go near the animal abuse topic. ...I can't even go near the animal abuse topic. It is much too traumatic for me. But I do hope you are right - that "the times are a'changing and it's for the good." I see so much good in the world and so many people giving so much. But then I turn on the news and my bubble is burst. I am obviously not in a very good place about this right now. : (8thdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17139355263412766126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931021721708713850.post-52391253476023053022014-05-07T11:35:33.287-04:002014-05-07T11:35:33.287-04:00Earthquakes not so bad?!?!?

I don't know, I sort of like the ground under my feet : )<br /><br />Sometimes I think of my life now, compared to when I was much more financially fragile, and I think wow! I have come a long way. But then when I look at how a majority of people live in this world, I think omg, I have entirely too much.

Hunger, lack of health care, no access to education, fear. It is important to remember how blessed we are, and to try to improve the lives of those less fortunate. <br /><br />"To whatever force or energy" we owe your renewal to, I say "thank you" too.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878879338335090175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1931021721708713850.post-11254538755557330062014-05-06T08:18:19.013-04:002014-05-06T08:18:19.013-04:00Very scary happenings for sure.

I wish we could have a garden - we don't really have the space and between the dogs and our schedule it didn't fare well. So, we support the gal down the street at her farm market! Much more our speed. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
