I am taking a break from watching the news. After the past couple of weeks its a good time to do it. Sure I will keep up with entertainment and weather stories but the hard news I am just needing to avoid. When you feel passionate about something and a news story seems to be tilted in one direction or another you get riled up and it raises the blood pressure. Facebook makes it hard to do that but you just scroll by fast.

My philosophy is to be informed on the issues but sometimes they can be a little much and everyone needs a news break.
