I read too many posts this morning that made my blood boil, so instead of responding I'm going to my "Happy Place!"

I have gotten to the point where I can't watch the news anymore. And I have read a lot of posts about otherwise normal people saying and doing the craziest things that exacerbate an already unprecedented national catastrophe.

I wanted to get on my soapbox, and rant and rave, and send my voice of incredulous reason throughout cyberspace in an attempt to calm the tempestuous waters of mayhem and confusion.

Instead, I'm going to my "Happy Place!" That place in my imagination where the tribulations of the world do not affect me, nor do they require any response or declaration on my behalf.

Let someone else figure it out today! Ommmmmmm...Ommmmmm!

Home is where the hearth is.

looks like a lovely spot. If there's an adirondack chair for me to sit in, a little cognac to pour, and a cigar... I'll join you.

Negativity? Nay-Sayers? Doom and gloom? What???? I can't hear you! What??? I still can't hear you!!!

Oh well, whatever Negative Nancy or Doubting Thomas were saying ... must have been unimportant. I can't hear them.

My happy place is right inside my mind. The way I figure it, you are constantly chattering about something (thank you mind, I heard you. And just TRY to turn it off - impossible), And you can control the chatter. You're the DJ. Think positive stuff, you feel better. Listen to whining and complaining, and "poor me" stuff, and bitching, and "I get the worst clients... YOU always get the good people"..... I won't listen for long. "Excuse me, I have an appointment"... with my happy place!

I really don't have a happy place, I figure rather than being trapped in my head, I'll just rant and rave and get it over with. I would only be prolonging the inevitable by pretending that that's not what I am going to do anyway.

Richard - We turned the news off a long time ago! Unfortunately, what is happening does not go away because we turn the television or radio off! I like how you have handled it today!

Rich... you disappoint me. You are much better when you rant and rave and "giv'em hell." But, alas I guess we all have to take a day off now and then and lay aside the sword. Come back tomorrow and I'm sure you'll discover fresh bees to buzz around in your bonnet to get your juices flowing.

Richard, I agree with you 100%. I rarely watch the news and often don't like to read about the bad things in life.

Guess I was an ostrich in my former life...lol
