Choice
A very sad thing happened last week - I turned on our TV to watch my favourite programme (Spooks) and was greeted with a blue line across the screen and perfect sound.......
Our TV had got sick (sniff sniff).
And so it went to the repair man....... who had it all weekend.
I usually don't watch much TV but coming home from work & seeing a gaping hole where it used to sit.........
It made me think about choice. I've always said that when I get my own place I don't want a TV in it. It was strange how much I felt differently when it was gone - I almost went out & bought a portable one (sad I know!!) !! People in work were horrified that we didn't have one in every room.
It was strange how my "need"/ desire for a TV changed when my choice was taken away as to whether or not I wanted it. I wonder what else this could be true of...... and the question now is -
will i survive without a TV in my own place ??

'Ello Irish princess!
I'm sorry for your loss...I'd be lost without alias!
Similar situation: Got that mri job back in February and have been forced to work Sundays for the last 10 monthes. I never knew how much I wanted to go to church until the choice was taken away from me. SO I prayed like a mad woman for Sundays off, and VOILA I now have them OFF! Jesus is good to me! Anyway...I know what you mean about choice. Like, we don't know what we've got until it's taken away from us. =) TV isn't the enemy...don't let anyone tell you different.
HEY! I love you.
