I want a Hi Def Widescreen TV

This used to mean a lot to me. I really wanted one for sports, you know hockey, football ect. I cannot really say I want it for movies because most of the Blue Ray movies I have seen look like a lit set. The fact that it is so real now makes it seem less real as a movie. Strange but it does effect me that way.

I have tried to get past the WANTING of things. Since in looking back things in and of themselves have not brought me much in the way of happiness. Mostly they just clutter up around me.

I had a moment of clarity with the idea wanting of things just this past December. This past December marked the 1 year anniversary of a dreaded ice storm that took our power for 11 Days.

Now anytime I hear the forecast of rain and snow mixture I cringe. Never again.

It was a terrible time for my family. I look back now, since life did eventually get back to "normal", and realize it has in hindsight given me a greater appreciation for what I NEED.

I need heat, its New England after all. I need water, not only to drink but also to flush my toilets. I need refrigeration so my family can eat. All of that depends on electricity in my house and it is very scary just how dependant we are to it.

But when I think back to the nights of candle light, driving places to take showers, filling up on water to flush the toilet, the kindness of others because we were "all in this together" attitude that grew from this event. It shines a light of clarity for me.

My tv for now is fine. It is not that important. Sure it would be nice. But I am more grateful for the warm shower,the food on my plate, the toilet that flushes, and a healthy family that survived that whole experience.

Still hockey really looks good in HD :)
