I found this pretty cool website the other day which the author has collected all the images and quotes on the internet and made one big Tumblr called The Pursuit of Happyness. It is a pretty funky tumblr at that.
Anyway I found this picture on the site and I was reading it at the time where the most common thought tumbling out of my mouth all the time was about how little time I had to do all the things I really enjoy doing like Reading and Beading and Painting and Photography and Baking. It struck me as such a simple idea that if I have no time for great hobbies, why don't I turn off the TV?
So I promptly pulled the plug from the wall and for a week I had no TV.
I confess I still sat in front of the TV at dinner time but that's a habit to break another day. I have read more in that past week than the whole year so far up to that point. It was such a liberating experience; I decided to give up TV for Lent.
... Not that I make a habit of being big on Lent
... I have managed so far with a 75% success... but only because I was between story books.
So here goes to acknowledging that: this is My Life and Life is short and if I don't like how my Life is going I can change.
