"Reality"

I know that most don't listen to music the way I do, but growing up listening to country music is like growing up listening to hundreds of short stories about love, heartache, family, war, first times, last times, little moments...

Today I heard a song (sorry I cant remember the title or the artist) it was about this fast paced world we are living in. It talked about how most of us go on day to day letting the media tell us how to live. We turn the television on to what the media calls "reality" television just to compare our own realities and find that ordinary is not "in"

You may not agree with the fact that there is a comparison taking place, and maybe there isn't but I believe subconsciously we are making these small comparisons which in turn make us question who we are.

I am going to do myself a favor, and next time I go to turn on the television (unless its 3:00 and Ellen is on) I am going to pick up a book, read a blog, write a letter to Grandma, or just simply breathe. I think we all owe it to ourselves to take a little break from "reality"

Peace, Love & reality
