Tranquility in a turbulent world.

I can take the news. Good or bad. No sense in cutting myself off. From what's going on in the world. Knowing full well that I can't do anything about it. Therefore, I have reason not to be bothered. I might as well accept the world. As it is. Meanwhile, I can learn how to better control my emotions.  And not get too annoyed or upset over the bad stuff. Might as well focus on the good stuff. Mostly little things. Happening around me. Virtually every day. In my relatively remote spot. On a lake. In Minnesota. I could be in far worse places. Instead, I'm blessed with peace and tranquility. In what seems to be a turbulent world -- at least based on the news reports. --Jim Broede
