I need to stay clear of computer news, the Internet, and especially people's comments! Mercy, there are some ugly trolls out there, vocal ones, too! Your simple life produces peace, and art, and those send out goodness that I believe is infectious, healthy, worthwhile. Family, friends, pets, and making our crafts and art... if everyone focused on these, I know the world would breath a sigh of happy relief.Natalie, the Chickenbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424213130274740719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-82150580187810144962016-09-19T09:57:16.620-07:002016-09-19T09:57:16.620-07:00Yes... unnatural.

On my radio (which plays soothing classical music all day), the hourly bulletins convey the essentials but without any of the frenzied media reporting and brutal images. News filters through into my patchwork world but my efforts are concentrated on family and friends, collie dogs and Flora Puddleduck. It's a simple life.

We have a responsibility to be kind, hardworking, etc. in our small world, and being barraged by stuff we are powerless to fix can distract us and disable us, as you say, from our sphere of influence. Keep folding the laundry and looking at the stars!GretchenJoannahttp://www.gretchenjoanna.comnoreply@blogger.com
