Isn't it funny how your perspective can change? Years back I was the drinking, partying, doing all the wrong things kind of girl. Now I don't drink, don't party, still do some of the wrong thing but am trying harder kind of woman.
Years back, I could be found in a bar that happened to serve food. Now I might be found in a restaurant that happens to serve alcohol...and I'm uncomfortable there. Years back, I would stay up till all hours dancing and partying. Now, if I'm dancing it's with a cute three year old in the living room and we are in bed at a much earlier hour. Years ago, my schedule revolved around me, me, me. Now it is all about him, him, him.
I found myself watching RFDtv the other night. (No, I don't get compensation here!!) I don't particularly care for the programming. It's "farmy" and "bluegrass", really not my style. But the little man loves tractors and anything with banjos or guitars so we watch it sometimes.
A man came on the screen detailing how the programming as well as the commercials were well thought out. The intent was on viewing a channel that could be watched by anyone. ANYONE. How often does that happen? They don't show commercials advertising new drugs, let alone the ones geared toward "love lives". They don't show commercials advertising alcohol. The programs are wholesome. ANYONE can watch this station at any time and not be offended.
I found myself enjoying this station a bit more after taking in his words. I am trying to preserve my son's innocence as long as I can. It's nice to know there are others out there that agree with that philosophy.
Amazingly, I found myself at a bluegrass festival this weekend. Again, not my cup of tea but my son tapped his foot and clapped along with the music. The booths were family oriented, showcasing crafts and food. It still amazes me how God can turn a life around. I'm thankful it was my life He chose to change. I am loving every minute of this life as a mom. Wonder if I can learn to play the banjo...........
