I subscribe to the newspaper and maybe three times a week, I actually get the opportunity to read it. Let’s face it~ the news is often rather depressing. Whenever I scan the obituaries, there is usually a name or two I recognize and wonder if they are related to people I know. In fact, this morning, there was the announcement of the father of an old high school friend.
Also in the paper today was a commentary by a former Washington Post journalist. This journalist, Jeanne McManus, really articulated what I believe we all feel. I’m including the link if you’d like to take a few minutes to read it. It discusses all of the various warnings and alerts that we’re inundated with in todays society. Hurricanes, terrorist threats, sun exposure, obesity, foreign outsourcing, economic downturns, etc….Exhausting. We’ve become overwhelmed….I know she certainly speaks for me! What do YOU think?
