Does Anyone Else Actually Read A Newspaper Anymore, Digital Or Hard Copy Edition, Or Am I Just That Old?

Does anyone else actually read a newspaper anymore, digital or hard copy edition, or am I just that old? I have NEVER gotten my news from social media. It just seemed to biased and/or unreliable. I also don't actually read all of my local newspaper; really only what applies to me or effects me. It's too stressful reading everything else in the whole wide world.

Homeschooling

For those who think home schooled kids are indoctrinated just replace that last now biased word with the concept of a worldview and you will realize that all children are "indoctrinated" whether passively or impassively. A schooled child who is bullied, ignored at home, and left to fend for themselves, is also being indoctrinated. They are taught that they are worthless and that the world doesn't care. A schooled child who is taught whatever is on the local school board's agenda whether that agrees or disagrees with their parents' beliefs is also being indoctrinated. Childhood is formation time, and all children are being formed. doctrine /dŏk′trĭn/

noun

A principle or body of principles presented for acceptance or belief, as by a religious, political, scientific, or philosophic group; dogma.

A rule or principle of law, especially when established by precedent.

A statement of official government policy, especially in foreign affairs and military strategy.

Seriously? I tag Niagara Falls to see its beauty and all I see are posts about Marilyn Monroe, an opportunistic sex symbol. I have never understood the attraction to Marilyn Monroe except as a sex object. She even thought of herself in that way. No wonder she was depressed and addicted by the end of her whole 36 years. I think I will start counteracting this tag by actually posting things about Niagara Falls...sans Marilyn.

An attitude of gratitude

This is a necessity in today's world of whining, complaining, griping, and entitlement. It's good to literally practice this at the end of the day. So today I am grateful for some good deals at the grocery store which allowed me to not spend a lot of money; and for a delicious, made-from-scratch dinner; and for a lovely, brisk, long walk afterwards in the cool of the evening (and as a bonus, it didn't even rain like it was threatening to!)

So how about you? What are you thankful for today?

My son specifically bought a VHS just to have, just in case.
