It is time to bring back joy to our lives, I am so over the negativity that is in the tone throughout our lives and our nation.
Most of us understand that it started with social media, misinformation, politicians and leaders that sow the seeds of chaos and unrest.
We don’t trust each other. We don’t even try. People bait each other in and goad the next person to respond instead of letting it go. Arguing doesn’t work if the other person does not fact check.
I have made a commitment to myself to not get sucked in any longer. Oh my gosh, that is SO difficult! I get so drawn in, and it only hurts me. I matter more than the person who feels they have to be right.
So, how to be more joyous? Do what makes you happier! Listen to music more often. Read the news instead of watching too much television. Take a walk early to beat the heat. Make yourself your favorite dinner or pick it up to go. Call a friend or family member. Take a paint or craft class. You get the idea, right?
In closing, as Kamala Harris and Tim Walz say at their rallies, they are bringing back the joy for Americans. I for one am excited for this change for our next White House team! That gives me the greatest joy of all!

I deleted all the news organizations in my IG account except for the Guardian. I stopped following politicians. I blocked anyone who discussed Trump even in negative terms (I don’t need to hear it anymore). Watching the Democratic convention last night was uplifting…
PS the last comment was by dkatiepowellart. I don’t get WP anymore. I am SIGNED IN and yet they don’t get it?
