I’ve turned it all off.. (got my morning smooth jazz on now as a matter of fact.) I read instead..still have to filter through the bias, but at least I don’t feel like a pawn being whipped into hysterics by TV personalities chasing ratings.

He was the epitome of caring and kindness. Children felt safe with him. He was an ordained minister charged with making our children whole. May God grant him eternal rest.

LOVE Mr Rogers! Do you, like me, all of the sudden find yourself saying things like “You are such a self centered idiot!” “OMG – I cannot believe you are the leader of our county?!” I, too, have begun talking to the face that is constantly on TV. argh! 🙂

I’m trying to heed Cindy’s advice. When I watch the news, I talk back too, usually saying, “OH NO!!” Can’t do Facebook either these days.

I can hardly cope with reading the news…I can’t imagine how I’d be if we had a television.

I feel such a sense of doom seeing the news these days, and I am not generally a hysteric or hypochondriac. Quite the opposite, I’m usually right. Sadly. My grandparents moved to the UP from Ann Arbor during WWII to raise chickens and teach school. I am feeling some of the same urges.

This is really cool about missing Mister Rogers. I think about him often, how his calm demeanor and warm, quiet voice told stories.
Definitely the “other” man is polar opposite of him! Too serious to Lol or even half smile at, Beth.

As for Mr. Rogers, the world could certainly use more of his mindset in it these days.
