So far, one of the greatest perks of my PA work has been the way in which I spend my downtime. I have been regularly updating myself on current events for the first time in my life. I don't feel comfortable visiting my usual sites while at work (facebook, various blogs I read, StumbleUpon, etc.) but I have no problem catching up on the news.
It feels good to better my understanding of the world we live in. But I do fear the negative impacts of reading about and continually being disappointed by people, governments, and businesses all over the world. It's tough to handle the onslaught of badness in the news. But I suppose the media has a responsibility to inform the public of that which is important. And what's important is being able to recognize and understand our shortcomings and doing our best to prevent them in the future.
But informing ourselves is the first step. And for those of us who feel as much as we analyze, reading the paper everyday can be a daunting task.
On to lighter news.
Today is a perfect Sunday. It is grey and slightly rainy. Zak and I have barely left our bed. I'm resting and drinking tea-- doing my best to really kick this illness. Zak is playing Kingdom Hearts (which has been on the to do list for four years now). We're trying not to complicate things. We're eating as we get hungry, and peeing as our bladders need relief. I think we have each needed a day like this for a while.
To wrap things up, I hope your Sunday is as restful as ours has been. Perhaps, if you're in need, this will soothe you. (Headphones recommended.)
Like your post. Bad news is easier to report. I always assume that there's lots of good news that just didn't make the cut...
ReplyDeleteIs there a good story line to Kingdom Hearts?
The storyline is not bad. The real appeal of the game is revisiting all your old favorite Disney movies. There are individual worlds for each. All the while, there is a "terrible darkness" threatening the universe, swallowing stars. We must defeat the darkness!
