Personal challenge

I had a LOT of couch time last year which meant a lot of tv time. I was talking with a young lady awhile back about my cancer ordeal and she asked me if I had been watching a variety of the reality shows on tv. I have always liked reality shows I guess because it is a way to escape my reality for a short period of time. After I was diagnosed, I definitely started watching some of the new reality shows for that exact reason, I wanted to escape all that I was facing. I admit this isn't a healthy way of dealing with things, but I was so angry with God that turning to Him at times was something I choose not to do. So I turned to tv and hate to admit it but have become "hooked" on some of these reality shows. I've been feeling convicted for some time now that it is time to stop watching some of this mindless tv and put my time to better use. I don't need to escape my reality anymore. So it has become my personal challenge to stop watching some of the mindless crap on tv. Feel free to ask me how I'm doing on this goal as accountability is essential when making changes.
