After work I generally come home, make myself a delicious kale-fruit smoothie (which actually sounds worse than it tastes - lol) than sit down on the couch in front of the fireplace in my living room and scan the TV channels trying to find something interesting to watch on basic cable (which is a challenge).
Lately I find myself being drawn to shows on TV Land (which in my area of Grafton County, New Hampshire, is channel 41). For those of you who are familiar with the shows on TV Land you know they are usually reruns. So I started wondering why night after night I was being drawn back to channel 41 to watch shows like; “Bewitched,” the “Facts of Life,” “The Andy Griffith Show” etc.
As much as I love my current sitcoms that take away the stress from work with a good laugh by watching; “Modern Family,” “Big Bang,” “Mike and Molly,” “The Middles,” etc. it came to me, what I was craving and what I was getting from my time spent watching the shows on TV Land filled a much different void! In this day and age with so much violence and less and less manners being displayed it was refreshing to see it, even if it is just for 30 minutes at a time and even if it was only in my living room on my television. It was enjoyable to see people being polite and using manners and it was hopeful to see real families and friendships.
Nothing changes if nothing changes, and we can only control our self, so let’s treat others with the respect that we want to be treated with and pray they pay it forward and create a better life together.
