I understand the need to take a break from all news, even wonderful FreeRepublic. I took a six month complete break from news and politics in 2023. You will be welcome back when you are ready.
I understand a break from everything as well. I get so angry at some of the things going on today. Somehow I manage to keep a positive attitude, but I honestly don’t know how lol. Maybe because I’m 70 and on the way out of this mess.
