Thoughts in February

 

A View Out a Winter Window

Well, here we are in the first week of February in the Northeast aka New England, maybe wondering when a blizzard will show up. I’m feeling late this month or mid March. 

Silly me.

Convoluted. An interesting word that has been showing up in my thoughts the more I watch television dramas. In acting, trying too hard, lines that are stiff like a first grader learning to read is uncomfortable to watch. Maybe the months of my not watching TV brings it out more now that I’m watching more. Some story lines regurgitate dialogue like too much sweet birthday cake sloshed down with tequila shots.

On the other hand, the television sitcoms I’ve viewed are of a much better quality. Monday night’s CBS comedy, “Poppa’s House,” is hilarious! I might use closed captions to read because I laugh so much I sometimes miss what they are saying. 

Any time if year is good to explore things for laughter and rewarding mental health opportunities. Community events can be especially comforting. Reading an in hand paper newspaper has a special feeling as does a visit to the local library.

I think we all need someplace to go besides the grocery store and dumpster to take out the trash. Our minds need other places as well.

I’ve even watched a fun game shows like “Hollywood Squares,” and “Rage the Cage.”
