My Home Page is currently set on MSNBC. When I sign onto the internet, it's the first thing I see. I've always been a 'news wonk', so to speak. I love the information services, CNN, NPR, PBS, CSPAN, PRI - I can listen to or watch that stuff for hours. I'm the only person I know who tapes the Presidential election night coverage so I can see the progress of the election the next more. (Boy, wasn’t I glad for that during the 2000 election!!!) I believe it's because I am so into understanding and connecting with people that I want to learn and find out everything about people from all over. I love to learn. I love to learn about people. I love to know what's going on in the world.
This morning, I've decided to switch my home page. I have no idea what I'm going to switch it to, but it's gonna change. It'll probably take me all day to find what the first thing is that I want to see when I sign on, but it can't be the news anymore. When I saw the MSNBC home page, it suddenly hit me that there is such a thing as too much information. There wasn't anything on the page in particular that triggered it but i all of a sudden realized that this was not where I need to be at the moment. For this place and time in my life, I don't need or want this anymore. It just clicked. I don't know why but I have learned over the years to trust myself when it comes to understanding and following what was right and wrong for me at the moment. Right now, too much information, that kind of information is wrong. The fun part now, is finding out what is right.
