This week was a first for us...we decided to take the television off the wall and put it out of sight. Did we die of boredom? Nope. The opposite came true. In my mind, I was more relaxed. The kids didn't have as many spats amongst themselves and I think the week was just all around better.
Isn't it true that sometimes the technology around us changes our thinking patterns. We know instant gratification is right by the 'ON' button. It's there lurking, waiting, waiting...will you do it? Will you? You know that it will make you feel better. It promises to help us forget our troubles and live in someone else's home, their life which inherently looks better than ours, right?
The grass is always greener on the other side, until you realize that it's only synthetic grass!
Why not try to live without your television for a week and choose to refocus on the little pleasures life grants you?
