I felt a little bit out of the loop sometimes, but was generally more optimistic about life.<br /><br />I'm back on local news (though not THAT station again!) and I'm usually glad for it, even though it often makes me kind of grumpy. If not for the local news, I probably would have panicked the other day when I came upon police in riot gear in my town.Karen M.

It is entirely too negative and depressing!<br />I like the world I live in too...without the news ;)The Krause'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16696488691885410786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5890474436523270615.post-58658318754952070862012-07-31T07:46:03.037-05:002012-07-31T07:46:03.037-05:00I hate reading about bad things but I also feel li...I hate reading about bad things but I also feel like bad things are inevitable and a part of life. Our character is developed by how we handle the bad things. It breaks my heart and it is isn't fair but I don't shy away from it. Maybe one mom saw that news story and it educated her on the dangers of sleeping with her baby or maybe someone saw the news story about the murdered mother and had information that could help the police. Living in a world where bad things happen helps me to cope when they hit too close to home.Kellyhttp://www.whatkellysaid.comnoreply@blogger.com
