My downward spiral into the abyss of "worry and obsession"

 I got consumed with concern and worry this week and obsessive about some other things that I won't mention.  All I will say is that it sent me spiraling into this abyss, cycling in and out of "worry" and "obsession", then "worry" again and "obsession" AGAIN.  Worried about some things going on in my son's first grade class and obsessing about work and money.  That was my week "worrying and obsessing".  It consumed me, I don't think I did anything else until today and I can't believe it's Friday.  The whole week spent in "worrying and obsessing" I Can't even tell you how badly I needed to blog today. This is truly my therapy.  Well I actually have a few "therapies"  If you haven't already noticed that I'm a mess, I'm sure I will have you convinced after reading this post.  Here we go!!! I have been watching a new Netflix series called the "Innocents", which I have sto...

I went to the ATM to get cash, to pay. ...

The role of Social Media in our lives

Honest Moment - I have struggled with "Social Media".  It's very overwhelming for me and overstimulating.  I don't think Social Media is bad and I do know there is usefulness in it.  But there is so much information coming at you, 24/7.  Truly the "Information Highway".  In addition to that, you have a lot of "coaches" out there.  Not that "coaching" is bad, but there are so many telling you you need to do this or "no, you need to do that".  There is profit in all of it but I just think we each have to find the right fit for us.  While social media has it's benefits, there are also some downfalls to it.  It has contributed to increased depression in some people.  For some of our young people, they think social media is "real life" and "real relationships".  As a result they can tend to ignore the people and the things around them.  Adults do it to.  Social Media can be addictive if your not careful.  It...
