We are bombarded on a daily basis by information from all over the world.  Info from television, the internet, newspapers, radios and yes, even or friends and family.

Unfortunately most of this news is not good news.  We hear about death, destruction moral decline and many other depressing things.  This information can cause sadness and severe depression if we are not careful.

There is a statement that says, “We are what we eat”.  I believe that is true about what we read, listen to and watch on TV. 

So how can we combat this?  I’m not recommending that we bury our heads in the sand.  It’s important to what’s going on in the world.  I choose to temper it all by looking for the positives in everything.  Sometimes that is a very difficult task.  I use my Bible for uplifting inspiration.  When I read the newspaper I always read the comic strips last so that I have a laugh to offset the disturbing things that I may have read.  I say prayers for the people around the world who have experienced bad things in their lives.  I also try to watch comedies on TV or at the movies. 

You will have to determine for yourself how much info is too much info for you.  I pray that you will find your own ways to be uplifted and also find the things that make you laugh.  May God grant you a  bright, cheerful, healthy blessed day.
