Over Christmas, my brother gave me similar advice–do not open the financial statements for at least six months. So I’m in–only getting out the calculator to balance the checking account, for now. (One thing I don’t need after the stock market drop is an overdraft fee!) And I’ve been a fan of periodic, self-imposed “news blackouts” for some time now. Another balancing act.

I agree. I’m all for a free press but also for exercising the right to take a break from it all. When we do hear a gloomy report, a collective “… and I know it’s going to get better” can put a positive spin on that self-fulfilling prophesy. Anyone else?

But the most satisfying day I have had in weeks was the day I spent taking down the holiday “stuff”,moving around furniture sweeping up all the dust and dead ladybugs in our cabin. No TV, no NPR until 6 pm that night. I think it is good to be informed, but you need a break from all the gloom and doom. Maybe if we ALL stopped listening for a day or two, the whole crisis would begin to solve itself instead of being a self-fulfilling prophecy. Love your new website, Pat!
