Reflections

I have been reflecting on what I view on the media and why. Music that I enjoy listening to  is usually to uplift, soothe,  calm and influence feelings of happiness. I enjoy listening to music by MoTab, Paul Cardall, Michael Bublee', 50's stations, and others. Sometimes I enjoy listening to classical music to think such as Bach, Brahms, Handel, and Beethoven. I have learned to use music as a tool to help me cope with the various emotions in my life.

Using the computer or devices has many reasons. The use of the computer is usually for research, information, or writing. I use my phone for many reasons such as getting directions, paying bills, making lists, setting the alarm, checking the weather, the news, keeping track of my spending, creating menus, relaxation while playing games, or checking Facebook, as well as communication. It's a wonderful and useful piece of technology.

The use of the television is most often a use for relaxation and entertainment. I have been more mindful lately of why I watch what I do. I don't really enjoy watching the news because it is emphasizes negative aspects of what is going on in the world. My husband is very kind in letting me choose what we watch together every night and I usually will choose something that makes me feel happy or enriched. We enjoy watch nature programs, documentaries, and sometimes movies that have an uplifting story line and message. We have also developed a habit of watching game shows like "Family Feud" which I have decided is funny because of Steve Harvey, but don't really want to watch anymore due to excessive amounts of inappropriate sexual innuendos.
