Buck Up

I am going to try to stop watching the news.
The only thing is, I'm so nosey. I'm afraid I'll miss some important event.
But because so many of the events are not uplifting, the thing to do would be stop watching news reporting. By definition, news concentrates on the unusual, not the common pleasantness of daily life. So to say the news is all negative is to repeat the concept that mostly bad things are reported.
I figure if I stop watching news programs, it will take me about a week to get over the negativity. My life is blessed and I know that. Sooo, Buck Up!
I will still care what is happening to others but perhaps not dwell on it quite so much.
