I used to love reading my newspapers — New York Times, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune and Huffpost — every morning and evening but no more. Now they are sources of nausea and depression for me. I just can’t read about all the negative, hateful, facts and alt-facts that are out there right now. I’ve had the blues for the last few days and figured out that it was the news that was messing with my physicality and psyche.

So? What to do? I decided to do a google search on “only good news” and came up with some great alt-news sites to frequent. For all the bad that’s going on in the world, there is plenty of good too.

Here are the websites I found and I hope you enjoy them as much as I am.

Feeling so much better now after visiting these sites. I will be avoiding mass media and social media until the coast is clear. It is not safe or healthy for me to subject myself to the daily ugliness. I would much rather be a positive, perpetual pollyanna….

As my Dad used to always say when we were sad as kids, “Let’s skip”. Okay, how fun is that!
