REFLECTIONS

I think I mentioned this before.  But….if you had asked me six months ago what my favourite movie, tv show,  or even my daily food choices were, the answer would be entirely different compared to today.  I had no idea that those choices were so entwined with Bill's wants and likes.  I would have sworn that NCIS was a favourite show.  My favourite movie would have been a war movie like Black Hawk Down.  And I definitely loved Lipton's chicken noodle soup (old man soup).

Today?  Not so much.  I haven't watched NCIS since Bill died.  And while I cruise through Netflix choices, the last thing that I pick is a war movie.  And I actually don't ever want to eat Lipton soup again.

So it begs the question…how much of yourself becomes someone else when you are together forever?  And how much did he change for my tastes and choices?  It doesn't matter a whit but its interesting breaking old habits and finding out what I, all by myself, really like.   I find this an amazing discovery and here I thought I knew EVERYTHING!!!!

I have not watched one second of tv since I got up here.  We won't have tv at the house til we move and I don't think they have the stations here at Kathy's that I regularly watch.  But I am not missing it much.  Although I know that my must see shows are being recorded at home.

  What I have done is read five books in the past couple of weeks.  I mentioned before that Jan gave me that awesome website 'Readcheaply.com'  I buy every book that catches my attention so I have a long build up of books to be read on here.  I am really enjoying it.

The most amazing and wonderful thing happened today….and a very sad one.  But this post is getting loooong so I shall put a comma in it here (as my mom would have said) and I shall tell you about it in tomorrow's post!  TTYL
