Ignorance is Bliss.

In college I rarely watched the news, and hardly read news websites. I was in love with Drudge Report (I still am!), but I didn't let the news consume me. Fast forward to present day. I check several news sites regularly, and I know this just feeds my anxiety. I know I need to take the "ignorance is bliss" approach, and avoid the news whenever possible at least until I can get my anxiety under control. Aside from all of the world troubles making me anxious, some of the news just makes me plain sad. I was reading an article from a Minnesota new site about a man who raped his 9 month old niece, and I was heartbroken. I couldn't shake the sadness all day. I wish the news would focus more on positive, uplifting stories. How great would it be to sit down in the morning and read about all of the good in the world?! I think the world would be a much better place if we could focus on the good, and not get caught up in all of the bad.
