Self-Imposed News Blackout. I'm coming up on my third straight month without watching CNN or Fox News. Frankly, I just got sick and tired of the verbal abuse I was taking from all of the "experts."

Want to fall in love with America all over again? May I suggest that you stop watching these news networks. I don't care what your political affiliation is, these channels simply pull you down--at least that's what was happening to me.  

I can tell you that I've come to appreciate the world around me, once again, without the pundits yelling in my ear about how terrible things are. You should try it.
