News depresses me

I listen to the noon news on television while I’m working, and the more I listen to what is happening in this world, the more bummed out I get. I’m sure a lot of people feel this way. I actually miss the 70’s when life seemed so simple and even though there was a lot going on in the media, there wasn’t so many terrible things happening. Between the economy now and the war, children being abducted and internet stalking…bullying, and all the bad news, I’d just rather not even listen anymore. I feel like going to live in the mountains, grow and raise my own food and ride a horse for transportation if needed. It’s like making it all sort of go away. (deep sigh) I’m off my rant…for now, anyway.
