EDITORIAL

Hello My Dear Friends,

Tomorrow is a dark day for America, Canada & many places around the world. Mon. Jan. 20th a  convicted felon becomes president. It seems pretty messed up that he can’t enter Canada, but he can rule the US and terrorize & taunt its allies. 

With negativity, hatred and misinformation all around us, this is the time for Scribbles.co to do what it does best… provide you a happy escape from it all. If they’re going to go low (as sadly they will) I will go high. High as in more fun stuff for your entertainment.

I am amping up the happy on Scribbles, and I’m going to do it with stuff you love most. More dogs. More cats. More Joe Friday & friends. More amusing comics. More cool contests. 

We've also moved our Support section to an easier to find spot in our sidebar area, should you find yourself needing a little help. 

Providing you with a happy place to take your mind off the cruel world isn’t always easy, but I am up for the challenge. Now more than ever!

Enjoy todays new Scribbles offerings.

Things You Can Do To Reduce Stress & Feel Calmer

With so much bad going on in the world and so many ways of accessing it, it can leave you feeling overwhelmed.  But even in trying times like this, there’s things you can do to compose yourself, gain clarity and feel hopeful. Here’s a few of them. 

 LIMIT EXPOSURE.   Watching TV or internet news or reading news stories in your every waking hour can be very unhealthy. All that negative news flashing before your eyes, over and over, it can make you anxious and/or depressed.  Try watching or reading less news. Fill that time with something you enjoy. 

I no longer watch TV newscasts. I get info from CBC News app or other reputable sources, where I control when I will check it out and for how long.  We are happier not seeing all those bad news stories. 

Something else to ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND...  For every story about someone evil doing hurtful things to others, there’s countless people doing nice things for others  The person who pays for the next person at the drive-thru coffee shop, rescues a kitty, volunteers their time to help others. Those people are all around us. We don’t hear about them on the news because for the most part these people are not doing kind things to get acknowledged, they don’t do it for “likes” or “views”, they do it simply because it feels good to do nice things for others. 

If you go on social media sites, you know the comments section can be brutal. You could chose just to read the posts  and   IGNORE THE COMMENTS SECTION  (which is the best option). But if you do read the comments section be prepared to read stuff that is very offensive or cruel. 

I have started   BLOCKING  people who leave nasty comments. I don't have to know them personally, if they are rude, they get blocked. Case closed. I won't see their rude comments anymore. It is so much better than stooping to their level trying to explain to them how wrong they are, when their comments already showed you they clearly don't know right from wrong.   

You can also chose to limit certain people's posts. For example: If there's a friend who choses to post nothing but controversial items and you'd rather not see them. you can chose to "mute" that friend for a while or chose not to see their posts in your feed. 

 BE MORE ACTIVE   We can handle stress better when we are moving around more. Go for walks, do some light exercises or yoga, dance (yes DANCE, put on your favourite music and let loose). 

This could be a great time to   TAKE UP A NEW HOBBY  or get reacquainted with old hobbies you might have been putting off. 

 BE CREATIVE.  Your creativity can manifest itself in many ways. You might like to create art pieces or paintings, you could be into needlepoint, building models or Legos, you might like to write stories, songs or poems, you might love cooking and baking tasty masterpieces.  

All of these are creative outlets that take your mind to a more peaceful mindset.  Never be afraid to try new things, your art is just that… YOURS and there’s no need to compare it to others or tell yourself you can’t do it. 

Our last suggestion for dealing with the world’s bad news you are already aware of, because you are doing it right now.  VISIT SCRIBBLES.  You don’t have to wait until I post notice via Facebook or Scribbles email group that there is a new Scribbles post to check out. Bookmark Scribbles.co and visit it anytime, anywhere. 

If you go to our right sidebar section you will find   SCRIBBLES ARCHIVES.  There you can go back from most recent posts to those we posted as far back as 2009. That’s just over 15 years of past Scribbles fun to revisit.  

Our sidebar also includes a link to   SCRIBBLES YOU TUBE CHANNEL  where you can enjoy every Scribbles Video ever created.
