Recwntly I got hooked on a reality show. Now, I pride myself on not buying into reaality tv. Except for cooking shows, I usually get annoyed with the drama. But I got hooked in-of all things-Naked and Afraid. Not because I wanted to see nude men in my tv or changed my mind about drama. It was really because the locations are wild, such as the Amazon Rain Forest, or the African savannah. But a surprising thing came out of my new obsession.
I have always known that an attitude of gratitude is important. But watching people literally not have the clothes or shoes on their backs while sleeping on the insect covered ground in a swamp with no clean water or food really opened my eyes to the million little things I take for granted or even complain about.
Is this now going to cure me of my dislike of reality tv? Lol…not likely…but my little binge watch truly had more profound effects than I would ever have believed possible. It reminded me just how lucky I am every day.
