A tidal wave of news that swamps the mind

I like to stay up to date with current affairs. I listen to the radio, watch TV news (less often) and follow blogs. But there are times when it can all feel a bit too much. When the tidal wave of negative images and stories makes me forget just how great the human spirit can be.

Then it's time to turn off and reflect on what I have (and you have too) rather than what may or may not happen in the future. And while you are turning off the news flow a picture can calm the mind. This one was taken in Lyme Regis earlier this week.
