WOW! It is not easy to think of things to blog about. My most memorable event this week was my daughter seeing snow. What a feeling to see your child's excitement about something I generally dread. Wiping and shovelling snow can add sometimes ten minutes or longer to my schedule so when I see snow my reaction is almost disgust. What other things in life do we see differently? What makes one person squeal in excitement makes another feel nauseated. I think about reality TV, I want it to stop but I have girlfriends who live for it. I find it very frustrating to see all the channels monoplized by reality TV. We spend a whole lot of time counselling our children about healthy socializing and in a minute they are exposed to unstable and quite often mean spirited social interactions. I am not unrealistic to think that people do not conduct themselves like this but what are we really saying when we support shows that destroy a person's self-esteem? I have stopped watching TV for the most part. I no longer feel the need to sit down and watch shows on a particular night but some cannot function unless their TV is on. Just some thoughts
