The Bible study exercise I wrote for my church yesterday was about the cult of celebrity, and how it affects people. One of my questions was "How does the cult of celebrity affect how you view your own life?"
And I realized that I have steadfastly refused to respond to requests for news from my alumni magazines --- after all, given that classmates are doing things like running for mayor of San Francisco and becoming executive director of the ACLU, being a homemaker seems really unimportant. In the past couple of years, I have on more than one occasion turned on CNN to see a former classmate being interviewed.
Today, in my email, was a request for news from the class correspondent. So I responded, basically saying I was home raising kids. I also mentioned Jeopardy.
So maybe I can stop being ashamed of myself, and recognize the meaning in my own life.
