What YOU do Affects (and Effects) ME!

I was making myself lunch (a late one at that) when I realised why I was feeling so pissy. I was upset by the bad news that trickles into my awareness (odd way off putting it--I know). One of my friends is going through a very rough time with her partner. And of course the neverending parade of evil parents that are killing their beautiful children by literally chucking them (i.e the Dad that threw his beautiful children off a bridge, the copy cat that threw his toddler over an overpass, the father that hurled his dead infant into a field--the coroner isn't sure if the baby died before after he was thrown). This always upsets me and throws me into a mini depression/FEP mood. How can it not--I have a deep heart and when I see this sort of evil it just makes me mad. Once Jamey actually called me in the morning and told me NOT to watch the news or read the news online, later I learned he was referring to mother on the border that sawed off her infant daughter's arms. Jamey wanted to be home with me when I heard the news.

I am worried about my friend and I hope she and her children can pull through. She is in my constant prayers.

I had to stop reading my ICAN and ICAN related email groups because it was upsetting me.

I know I tend to get worked up things I can not change. Some say it's easier to worry about things that you can not change rather than the things you can change. However, a heart will still bleed when stabbed by evil.

I find it all to easy to let the events of the world get to me, and just can't take it when children are injured. I don't like killing, period, which makes news watching rough.

I'm glad I am not alone in feeling this way. My mom always thought it made me soft in the head...she thought it was a sure sign of mania. You know sometimes I wish there was a news show that actually sought out the good things that are happening in the world. I refuse to believe that it's all bad "out there."
