Couch Potatoes
My husband and I usually turn into 'Couch Potatoes' from about 8 till 11 p.m. each evening. We enjoy our regular programs a lot. In fact, recently we purchased a loveseat with two recliners for our viewing comfort. Some of our relatives think we watch too much television but I don't think so. We don't often watch anything during the day except for the news at noon and again at 5:30.
I came across an interesting article several weeks ago which I've been meaning to share with all of you. I'm finally doing just that. The article is about the possible positive aspects of watching television. We often hear about the negative ramifications of tv watching but according to this article television can help us fight off feelings of loneliness.
Previous studies had indicated that unhappy people watched television while happy people read or socialized. Four new studies discussed in the article make watching television sound more positive. You can read about these new findings in the article titled "For Some, TV is a Cure for Loneliness". The next time you feel guilty for watching television, give yourself a break. It's not necessarily a bad thing to do, especially if watching television isn't the only thing you do.
