TV

Quite honestly, TV, keeps me sane.  I can watch drivel but I can watch, and I can seek out, pure, inspirational, heart warming, life enhancing, gold.

Will you indulge me?  Can I just give you a sneak of one weekend?

"Girls" - Season Two finale entitled "Together," the last 10 minutes when Adam runs, (all caveman, sans shirt,) to Hannah's aid, I can't bring myself to delete and yes, this episode has resided on my TV box thingy for over a year, it's just too beautiful to delete.

Two legends, Ms Oprah Winfrey, (I would be dumb struck if ever I was to be in the very same room...) and Ms Tina Turner, in conversation as part of "Oprah's Next Chapter."  To begin with, this may sound a tad insulting, but I very much miss, being around the wisdom of the older generation.  I don't mean it to be insulting, I genuinely miss being around the older generation.

Anyway, I watched the conversation so that I could delete from my TV planner, but of course, I could not delete.  This wonderful woman, Ms Turner, for the first time for me, was not just a musical legend, but was an amazing woman, a woman who had survived trials, who worked so hard to make sure everything, everyone, including herself, could finally be taken care of.  At the age of 69, she felt like she had done enough for everyone and so she allowed herself to retire, finally.  At the age of 73, she married her beau of almost 30 years and she was triumphant and serene and just beautiful.  She is beautiful, and I don't mean looks, although she is that too.

I was blown away by this amazing woman's calm, acceptance and serenity.  I wish for her, another thirty years with her beau and continued tranquillity.
