The Art of Being and Dreaming

22 May

Yesterday was a great day! 

Hubby and I had the day off together, and after a whole morning of homework for me, went to Barnes and Noble for fun.

We each grabbed a book and started reading.  It was really nice to just be together.  We didn’t have to talk… just be.  You know you have someone great when you don’t feel awkward just being.

What’s funny is that I feel closer to him doing something like reading than when we watch TV together.  Hmm…maybe because my brain is engaged?

Anyways.  After reading for a bit we moved on to dreaming of what is to come.  We like to do that a lot!

In about a year and a half we are going to move back home to Syracuse, NY, and hopefully buy our first house shortly thereafter.  We had some fun looking at houses, talking about what we like, and what we want our life to look like there.

I think dreaming is a good thing!

It defines what we value in life as a couple, and inspires hope for the future!

I think being is a good thing!

It means we are living in the present together, and enjoying each others company.

How do you be with the one you love?

What to you dream about together?

How the Television Stole Life: Update

10 Nov trigger 010

I have completed three days of my no TV challenge and so far pretty good.

Instead of TV, I have been reading, hanging out with my pup, practicing more, and doing things (laundry, cleaning, etc.) around the house.  The first night my hubby and I even sat down to dinner together… at the dinner table!

Honestly, I am wondering how I had time to watch TV in the first place because my days have seemed pretty full until 9:30 when I settle down to read and get ready for bed.

On the other hand, I feel like I have been constantly going the last three days, so it will be nice to sit down and relax with my hubby for a reasonable amount of time in the evenings.

I could pick this pup over TV any day!

I have gone from one extreme to the other!

The biggest take away will be finding my balance in this area when the week is over.

I don’t want to watch TV for 3 hours in the evening anymore.  One is enough.

I don’t want to work all day and then work at home all evening until it is time for bed.  Breaks are necessary.

I want relaxing in the evening to be an addition to my life because it helps me recharge after working and achieving my goals all day.

Have you been doing this challenge with me?  If not jump on board, there are two days left!

If you have been joining me on this week long challenge, let me know how it is going so far in the comments.

Good luck over these next 2 days!
