I started the other day not watching the news before I go to sleep. It really has made a difference. Kind of the same as not watching depressing movies, etc. This is the best idea because it is very doable for everyone. I too agree. I started the other day not watching the news before I go to sleep.

Long ago I decided not to watch R rated movies. No Holocaust, no prisons, no grisly murders, no violent sex. Why would I want those images in my head? The last movie saw was 'Julie & Julia'. I figured nothing bad would happen unless the beef bouruignon burned (which it did). That was my first movie in about three years which gives you a clue as to what is out there. (That movie was 'The Queen' which did have an upsetting moment or two, but worth it to see Helen Mirren.) As for novels, I usually only read mysteries in bed. I stay with the gentle ones - There is a body in the library. Oh my! - so that my stomach doesn't hurt before I fall asleep. Just because someone makes a film or writes about something - even if it wins awards - doesn't mean I have to make myself see the movie or read the book.. It is great to have a say in what I will or will not let into my life. Lucy Michele,

They invariably end up with more - more time, sanity and happiness. Good for you! M :-) Barbara –

For today's fresh start, I think I'll "do less" of those things that make me crazy: endless fundraisers, committee meetings and such. Back from a short but lovely holiday with friends!
