Call the Midwife

   I started watching "Call the Midwife" on Netflix and just love that show.  I'll admit that I sometimes fast forward through the live birth scenes when women are in labor too long  (my husband won't watch it at all).  If your not familiar with this show, it is set in London's East end in the 1950s and is based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth, a young midwife.  What I most identify with is the "Why did I ever start this?" that flashes on the screen at the beginning of each episode.  It is her sense of being in an different culture, with a different way of life, right in London where she grew up. The main character, Jenny, is constantly put into situations that are strange, uncertain, and challenging, and she becomes more confident with each situation she handles and deeply touched by he people she works with.  But my favorite character is actually "Chummy".  I love her attitude and the way she makes decisions, sometimes reversing them shortly after they are made, and is always able to maintain a sense of humor.
