When I was a kid I hated boring shows about animals. I would use that annoying voice kids use when they are exasperated and want something RIGHT NOW. I would demand something else be put on TV. Now when I get the chance to watch/listen to anything that NatGeo or the BBC puts out there I jump on it. This is another area where Netflix has changed my life, I can fall asleep listening to David Attenborough any day I want thanks to them carrying a large variety of animal shows.
Some days you feel like you are looking up hill-nothing is going the way you want and all you need is a good hug. I often struggle with finding the balance in day-it seems when one part is looking up, another is heading down. But today, like other days. I forced myself to remember that pesky perspective. I am lucky to be healthy and gainfully employed. I am lucky to be able to eat until I am full, drink clean water, and live in a safe place where I do not fear danger or war.
When I click that circled arrow I can listen to all the David Attenborough I want. All of that makes me pretty rich, pretty darn rich.
For some reason, that tidbit about you hating animal shows when you were a kid seems really enlightening to me. Like that one small detail has cast an entirely new light on who JJ was as a child. In retrospect I guess its not all that surprising, but as one of those kids who DID grow up hooked on Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel, for some reason, my mind is blown.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think I'll check out those shows on Netflix. Thanks for the tip.
