Amazing, I was on almost the same train of thougth earlier today, I’ll be married 23 years next month, and I was thinking about all of our ups and downs, trials, tribulations and BLESSINGS, and realized no matter what we have, how little or how much, at the end of the day-at the end of this life, he and I have each other – what more do we really need?

What could be bad about the news? Or a reality show? I can see how TV is relaxing to people. But it's such a one-way delivery that your brain just goes into blank mode, and it's incredibly impressionable. Negativity on TV is insidious. Being around negative people is the same way. Before you know it, you find yourself telling those same stories, using the same body language, adopting that suspicious, self-protective shell. It's easy and it feels kind of juicy in a reactionary way. I think it grows like an infection that you don't know you have. Once you have awareness of it, you can evict it from your reality. Seeing the good is easy too. Terrific comment. Thanks. Susan,

He tends to rant about all that's wrong (in his view) and doesn't seem able to see what's right. Your observations about life and our choosen responses to our experiences are right on the money (obviously, I agree with you). Thank you so much for putting your thoughts down do eloquently.
