It was hard to hear the message with all of that ridiculous noise and chaos that I call the idiot box, going on day in and day out. By turning that box off my life has become more fulfilling then
it has been for the last two years which is around the time that we, and I mean my husband, purchased that 58 inch plasma screen that little by little consumed way too much of our lives. As a result of turning it off, I was able to join an online photo class, participate in weekly photo prompts from some pretty creative and super interesting women bloggers. By having time to check out many of their blogs, I was inspired to revamp the look of my three blogs and also to pick up some new skills as far as setting up my page. I now have a flickr account and I am having a blast on my tumblr page.
Here is a list of some others things that happened this month
1. I dislocated my toe
2. We worked in our wild garden and nurtured our almost ten foot sunflowers
3. Rearranged my furniture in two rooms
4. Discovered a 135 new relatives on facebook in one day
5. Spent a lot of time photographing my sense of life
6. Visited places that I having been driving by for decades and made some fantastic discoveries
7. Had a fantastic spiritual reading
8. Found a new chiropractic doctor
9. Bought a smart phone
10. Visited my mom's and my brother's memorial sites for the first time in a decade.
Although the month started off with broken cars, crazy negative people that I ended up dropping from my life, and almost nearly breaking my toe, there were lots of wonderful moments of growth, that would not have manifested had I not turned the idiot box off and now aside from watching movies from time to time, I do not plan to watch television. See you tomorrow with my August challenge.
