This Is All I Want-Read More

I try to live a drama-free life. I’ve learned that it is an acquired skill. You have to want inner peace more than anything else and you have to be willing to and learn how to walk away from anything that threatens your inner peace. When I reached this point, I was no longer a spring chicken.

Now, for the most part, my life is drama-free. I’ve been able to develop skills I needed to protect my inner peace and calm. That is, until recently.

I like to keep up with what’s going on in our Government. I take my right to vote very seriously and I feel responsible–even obligated–to stay aware of what is happening with our Country’s leaders.

But recently, I’ve felt like I should go into a cave and escape all the drama.

The Russia investigation, the GOP memo, the Democratic memo, the text messages, sexual harassment scandals, resignations, the Dossier, the FISA courts/warrants, the lies, the backstabbing, the name calling…on and on and on. Yes, my friends, you too can have a front seat in the theater of our Nation’s Capital.

Regardless of political party or affiliation, I think most would agree that there’s just a whole lot of drama going on right now. You can’t turn on any news without negative news broadcasts. And that’s not good.

I know that there are good things going on in our Government right now. But we aren’t hearing about those because there’s not enough time to fit in the good stuff with all the bad stuff.

So, I’m turning off the TV. I’m taking a little while away from news to renew my calm, peaceful, happy, safe place.
