There but for the Grace of God...

I like reality tv. I freely admit it. I've watched at least 75% of what's out there at least one time. I won't watch real housewives but I love the little women LA version. I'm kind of over biggest loser but I do like 600lb life.  I'm grossed out by hoarders but I love to watch it.  I will not share my husband but I admit to curiosity about women foolish enough to do so.  Why not a show about multiple husbands?

I was walking a dish into the kitchen and I joked with my husband that I have watched too many hoarder episodes because I nearly washed my dish in the bathroom sink! I shouldn't joke. These people truly fight different demons than I do and I'm afraid that with a traumatic event, I could be like them.  I went through a phase in my life where I had no idea what I owned, I just knew it was mine and I needed more.  Moving into my current home and finally being happy with my life has helped me to be organized and I know what I have and mostly where it is.  I no longer have a half dozen boxes full of who knows what in the garage. I feel good about that and I take full advantage of those times when I want to pare down and filter.  A monthly donation of usable items we don't need makes me feel good.

I decided that I don't need to watch news two or more times a day. I think it's depressing me. I'll get details that I need but I don't need to be banged over the head by it.  I'll listen a little and then go back to my crafts.  I'm very happy with my cranberry project so I'll focus there.

Happy crafting to you all.
