Last week I revealed to the world (or really the few who read my blog) my OLW. The word I chose to be life-changing this year for me is... DARE. Tonight, is my first dare to myself. I know for some of you this dare may seem silly, but for those who know me close, this dare is BIG. I mean HUGE.... for me at least. :) Today I am daring myself to keep the tv OFF. I know it's a silly little dare, but I really love to wind down each night with a show or two or 5 depending on how much work I have to do. And now that the Hallmark Channel is one of our favorites, my dvr is almost at capacity. (Does anyone out there love those movies as much as my girls and I do?) The other thing is, I'm usually watching tv, working on the computer, and/or texting family/friends. So tonight my front room looks like this:
Yes, we still have our Christmas tree up! It always makes me sad to take it down because it is just full of happiness. I mean look at that decorating job. I am blessed that Three Brown-Eyed Girls blessed us with this gorgeous tree. :) (I don't think there are any ornaments on the back. hahaha) My hubby wanted to put everything away tonight, but I kind of avoided the question when he asked so it's still up, YAY!!!!! It'll probably come down this weekend... maybe. My new dare: How long can we keep up our tree?!?!?!?! hahahaha
From my brown eyes to yours.....
Love the way you've embraced your OLW - daring to keep the TV off and the Christmas tree up! Love this phrase about your tree - "...it is just full of happiness." Here's to embracing the joy of that happiness for a few more days!
ReplyDeleteYou're comment made my heart smile! Thanks so much, Ramona, for seeing the joy in my "daring" life. :)
DeleteI always hate to take my tree down. The longest I've ever had it up--past Valentine's Day. I was teaching and working on a major publication with deadlines... there just was not a spare moment to take it down (good thing that year was an artificial tree). Cheers for your first dare!
ReplyDeleteOh Alice! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that you kept it up until Valentine's Day! Artificial trees are helpful when keeping a tree up... forever! :)
DeleteThat's such an awesome OLW!! Great choice. Good luck !
ReplyDeleteIt's not silly at all! I love how you are daring yourself in the daily do-ings and moments.
ReplyDeletePS I love those TV movies too! It's how I relaxed the first week of our break! :0)
