Oh yes, it is Sunday morning. Every Sunday morning I come up with some excuse not to go to church. Well this morning I guided through my satalite tv to see what is on today and there is an all day marathon I want to watch today so of course wasnt going to go to church. So Im sitting here enjoying my program and bam! Satalite goes out! I call them up and they say my bill has not been paid in 2 months! Well, hubby (control freak) takes care of all the bills, so needless to say I am blaming him and very angry with him. But on the positive side I am going to go to church. I dont know how im gonna survive until the 3rd without tv!! I plan my whole day around it!! Oh well such is Life on Life's Terms!! Sometimes I just hate these darn slogans!! Especially when they totally apply to me!! At least they havnt cut off my interrnet thank God!!!!
I can identify. I used to be a slave to TV. What a waste. No more! Had the satellite cut off about 6 months ago. I decided not only will save a few bucks but I can spend that time much more wisely (meetings, church, reading, exercise, and the list goes on). It was difficult for about a week, but I no longer miss it and find that I am grateful that my time is better spent these days........
(((hugs)))

I have been very t.v.-drawn, since the election here got crazy (for oh, say, 2 YEARS now or so?????) LOL.........
I have mastered the art of cleaning while watching/listening though. I miss my regular shows, Science channel and all that.... winter is coming, and I am sure I will get back to that soon enough. I did get into a book recently I found on clearance.... Ray Bradbury's "Farenheit 451".... love it.
Just for today, I am getting to a meeting tomorrow. Enjoying a few extra days off this week, as one boss is out of town. Have been aggravated by every church I have been to in sobriety except one, in the past few years. I stick to meetings for now, and also some personal meditation books that follow my spiritual beliefs. I am glad I can talk to God without sitting in a pew, and I am also glad that many in AA are fortunate enough to have a place where they can go to worship and learn. Maybe I will find my "niche" in that respect again sometime..
Take care! Joni
