Who turned out the lights?

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to persue them."

Walt Disney

Had a power cut this afternoon which apparently affected 10000 homes in Sussex.  Having no traffic lights during my driving lessons was an experience!  Electricity is top of my gratitude list today.  Isn’t it amazing how something we don’t even question or appreciate makes such a difference when it’s not there.  There was traffic everywhere and i’m sure people were completely lost and were panicking about the prospect of an evening with no TV.  The truth is that an evening talking and really connecting with their families could have been the most enlightening evening they’ve had.  Maybe they could have just sat and thought about what is happening in their lives and about the direction they’re heading.  Are they happy with that direction?  That’s the real reason they were probably so scared of an evening with no TV, they would potentially have to engage in these thoughts and conversations.  No problem though, electric came back on so it’s back on with the TV in the room they call ‘living’ (borrowed that last bit from Woody Harrelson’s poem) into a media induced coma….what time is Eastenders on?………
