Grumpy TLC

Headlines that day after day milk a news item can be a source of aggravation. The levels vary. Recently though, I’m questioning whether or not I’m being too critical or insensitive. 

Nah to both. When the excess reaches the point where experts or celebrity opinions and/or reactions reach the headline, then the milk has spilled over the edge of reason. 

Already life in America feels like the pied piper led too many over the edge into an abyss where evidence of common sense can only be seen in the claw marks on the way down. 

Are I grumpy? Increasingly so yes. You see in college, aside from economics 101, philosophy always confused me. People praising, some even worshipping the person for stating the obvious, is sadly scary as well as somewhat comical to me.

I get philosophical as a retreat for my brain to see the confusion won’t last. Reality is not always a dependable source of comfort. There are times when diving into silly is the TLC I need.

  3. Reading the news online in the early am on various outlets and then going about the rest of my day works for me.

  4. The world is in a topsy-turvy place just now. Self-care is needed, and a withdrawal from too much news. But how to determine how much is too much is my question. There's some new horror every day, it seems.
    Sending you gentle thoughts and prayers, dear Maywyn.

  5. I think we're all a little grumpy -- and very concerned. And with good reason.

  6. Pied piper indeed - and one questions the mental state of those who blindly follow. Grumpy seems to be a state of mind these days - that, and being downright po'd.
