Stopped watching both “news” and “sports” years ago.
And you’re correct. My life is more fulfilled now than it was when I wasted my time watching the fake news and fake sports.
Some of my old buddies from school have asked me what in the world I do with all of my time now that I don’t spends hours and hours watching news and sports.
I just look at them and shake my head. If they don’t understand, then I can’t explain it to them.
Life is not listening to some news anchor or taking head every night of the week. Or watching some game or listening to some sports commentator all weekend.
Life is everything outside of those contrived pursuits.
Yesterday was my birthday. I spent it playing with my 21 month old granddaughter and visiting with my daughter. Eating a favorite meal with the family. Not one TV was on the whole day and no one complained.
Life is good when you live it, instead of wasting it on trivial activities..

Thank you for such wise words... Glad you had fun playing with you granddaughter. I am still waiting for my first grandchild. I am ready, but I think my young adult children are not...
Remember Shawshank Redemption?
Get busy living or get busy dying.
Peace and happiness to you and your wonderful family. :)

With age, hopefully comes some wisdom and clarity.
I turned 71 yesterday, so I've got the age part down.
The wisdom? The jury is still out on that. :-)
