There is so much going on in the world. Politics are nerve wrecking. Social issues are getting more and more
evident (which is a great thing). Money
is hard to come by. Relationships are
always hard. Despite all of these
things, I have found the best way to wind down. TV!
Is it me or is TV so much better than movies now? TV writing has gotten so good over the past
decade. I turn on my DVR and don’t know
where to start first; not to mention my Netflix and Hulu watch list. I sit hypnotized as the scene flash before my
eyes as I laugh, cry, cringe, at my favorite character. I dream that one day one of my books will
inspire a TV show. When my day is over,
I can’t wait to climb into bed with my remote control in my hand and flip
through my options. It’s my way of
escaping horrid news stories, my kids asking me a million questions, social
media, and…
Ok, I’m not being serious. TV rocks, but watching too much TV makes my
brain ache. I think TV is one of America’s
biggest problems. We take advice from,
form our opinions, and model our lives after fictional people whose main
purpose is to sell us something. People,
let’s go back to the old days where we had deep conversations, made love at
night, read books to our kids, and just danced to our favorite song. We gotta turn off the boob tube before our
intellect becomes nonexistent. It’s fine
to binge watch, I’m so guilty of it, but we must live our lives and stop worrying
about the lives of entertainers we don’t know.
I promised myself that I will turn the TV off by 11pm every week night
no matter what. It seems late, but it’s
not considering that I don’t have complete free time until 9pm and that my DVR
is full! It’s going to take me forever
to catch up on my shows, but I figure I will be too busy enjoying my life to
worry about it. Plus the hubby and I
will have time to make-out to Marvin Gaye before our midnight sleep time. Let’s get it on!
Enjoy your life. You
only have one life to live.
Remember to love hard and live free!
