Some ask for only one season but I absolutely love every season we have. There's tons of stuff to do in every season. But you're absolutely right about weather reports being negative. It's all in how it's presented by media. These days are still a little chillier than normal. So, every single day you hear on tv about how bad this weather is for plants! There's always something to complain about if we go around looking for it. I've tried getting weather reports via internet as well sometimes but it's not every day. Thanks for the reminder. No more turning the tv on in the mornings! :-) I’ve got people at my office literally fuming because of the weather changes, constantly complaining.

A report on TV (I saw it at my parents home) contained a dramatic 'weather warning'. Why? It was going to rain and we had to be careful driving. It rains regularly so why the big panic? Ah, it makes it more interesting. Good grief. I have seen grown men AFRAID of the rain. Is it any wonder? I now get my weather reports from certain websites that give only the bald facts - or just enjoy the suprises the weather brings! Incredibly I have found even the weather reports can be negative!

I'm so glad that they had enough courage to leave their good paying jobs to be true to themselves. I had given up news a long time ago. In the mornings I was just watching traffic and weather news but I realized that with in that short span of time, just waiting for weather or traffic, a lot of negative news still ended up in my mind. So, now if I need to watch that I mute the t.v. :-) Ricky Hey Keith,

I have long noticed how you start your day is important - if you listen to the news first thing, the day seems to be dull but if you start with maybe uplifting music or perhaps some affirmations it feels entirely different. It is amazing how what we put into our minds makes a huge difference. It has also struck me how we are only listening to a second hand account of what happens and all too often it is edited to increase the drama. A friend of mine gave up being a journalist as he was never allowed to tell the truth. Someone once said 'if it is bad enough, someone will tell me'. In the meantime, Keep away from the news.

I was just dumbfounded by my experience. First thing my mind thought was the worst when I got sick. Which was due 100% to the influence of media. And all this even though I don't watch news much.
