My favorite New Year's Day tradition as of late is enjoying the Twilight Zone marathon on the SyFy channel. Not the revamped episodes of the 80's and 90's, but the original Rod Serling and big name stars of the 60's and before. I recorded one of my favorites and watched it today, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet". William Shatner has always been one of my favorites and his battle with a breakdown and a fuzzy gremlin on an airplane still gets me every time. What I delight in with these episodes is that my children, children of the computer animation and ipods and special effects galore age, are absolutely entralled by this show. Are they scary? Some of them are, but the ones I deem too scary are not allowed. Most of them deal with odd and creepy people or situations. Some have good messages about being happy with oneself or making the right choices. S was talking with her friend E about their favorite "Talking Tina Doll" episode with Telly Savalas. Eat your heart out, Bieber. Burgess Meredith, Savalas, Shatner...they're where it's at, kiddies. I will admit that 2013 has started off in a lazy way as it has been a rainy, yucky day. i did get the kitchen back in shape anddid some general straightening, but otherwise snuggling with children on the couch while Rod Serling talked to us was at the top of the list.
I will say again that in lieu of resolutions this year, I am just going to work on making me a better me. A better wife, mother, daughter, niece, sister, Christian, friend, employee, vessel for a soul to reside, all those things plus a million others. I want to be the best example I can be. For tonight, however, I reside in that 5th dimension..."the middle ground between light and shadow, it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone."
