Bombarded.
That one word says it all. I use it to describe the amount of news that we hear and see daily. That includes advertisements that get us thinking, bad news that angers or saddens us, celebrity news and maybe sports news that tires us, and even good news that is a bright spot. All of the above is not going anywhere, and if you find favor with any of it, that's your ball field. Tend to your turf. But for the rest of us who need an escape, somewhere or something we can turn to for refreshment, look for something. Perhaps not a daily thing, but an occasional may be all you desire to reconnect with an inner, what should be more peaceful, less cluttered world. Our family recently started a twice a week scripture reading and discussion period two days a week for 30 - 45 minutes. It doesn't eliminate problems, nor extinguish the flame of media showing up, but it encourages coping, but more so putting things in proper order. Reading an inspirational, nature rambling, or spiritual book is another step I often take move my soul to that better place. Tired of being bombarded? Do what's best for you. Steve
