The result has been clarity of thought and no energy wasted on "hm, I wonder if I should...". I have taken to one totally media free day per week - even my children have been warned that my phone is OFF and messages, texts and all other intrusions will be dealt with when - well, when I get around to it actually. There is so little out there that I consider even close to being entertaining. Thank you for writing this - as always, love to you and your lovely Linda.Mélahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436009255211727852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-53006682191517740562022-05-02T04:52:56.478-03:002022-05-02T04:52:56.478-03:00Another fantastic piece, Greg.

My husband and son watch sports on it, every now and again.

No TV, no news bulletins, no subscribing to panic and doom - result - I am generally calm and happy and enjoy my life.
