green onions

I have become addicted to the constant noise of the political news lately and have let my youtube play on autoplay in the background for weeks. My ability to concentrate on anything has been highly diminished. This morning the silence is welcome. I am just listening to house sounds, my dog chewing on a bone, my husband sleeping, the hum of the computer, an occasional airplane. My mind is able to relax, not worried about what I may be missing but staying focused on my task at hand. Meditation has never really worked for me but I can tell I need to move away from the constant drive to stay up on events and focus on myself and family.

 

Anyone else been feeling this way?
