RE: Shattered Dreams, New Beginnings - My Picture Day Submission

in My Picture Day5 years ago

Beautiful photographs Lizelle. I stopped looking at or listening to the news a few years ago, and I'm sure it makes me calmer and more balanced (although some of my friends would disagree!). Many of my friends are in a crazy panic about this disease, and I think it's because they watch the news. Life is full of risks, but being fearful and depressed doesn't help the immune system, so I think the news has a lot to answer for. It doesn't give a balanced or rational view of events.

Sort:  

100% correct, the media are actually controlled by the big pharma I'm told, and they certainly are frightening everyone with all the drama, it really is not good watching it all the time! We should rather look at ways to boost our immune system naturally! You must be missing your hiking? You were taking care of someone when I last saw you?
Please take care of yourself!

Thanks @lizelle. I am missing the mountains so much - sometimes if I have to drive somewhere I go the long way round and just look at the mountains in the distance! And yes, I was caring for my mum, and she sadly died at Christmas, after suffering a stroke in early December. It's been quite a tough time, contacting all her friends to tell them the sad news, and organising the funeral. That's why I was off Steemit for a while - I missed all the exciting developments with Justin Sun and Hive!

Ah no I'm so sorry to hear that @natubat, must have been so awful!
Hope you're taking good care of yourself after such a distressing period.
You can start planning your next climb and just do some virtual climbing now, there's so much stuff being put online at the moment!

Absolutely! I've signed up to the Patreon account of one of my favourite climbers, giving excellent advice and exercises 😁
