Yep Grandpamac, this too shall pass.
I stopped regularly reading the news and watching the TV many years ago. I may sometimes scan the headlines on the internet, but I find it best not to become immersed in world thought. I firmly believe that our thinking affects/creates the 'reality' that we experience. What we focus on grows in our experience. What we resist, persists.
You seem to have a good sense of humour. That is so important for your own well-being, and for the upliftment and encouragement of those around you.
Keep posting !!!
