Next week will mark a full year since we cancelled cable television. We don't even have local channels on the tv. We do have a Netflix subscription so we can watch Nova, National Geographic, the History Channel, and some excellent "old" movies from the 40s/50s/60s.
For the first two weeks after cancelling the cable I will admit that I really didn't know what to do with myself. It had become a habit to plop down on the couch after putting the little ones to bed and just zone out watching useless programs.
Its been almost a year and I can see I need to make better use of my "down time".....unfortunately I replaced watching television with browsing the internet. Again.....without real purpose....just kind of wasting hours dinking around on the internet.
Well....its a New Year.....and time to start a New Habit!! It is my goal to spend my evening "down time" reading books that ARE of use! :) I have had almost all of the books sitting on my shelf at home collecting dust (some of them have been sitting for yearssss). Its time to dust them off and spend my time INTENTIONALLY!! :)
Here are the books I plan to read this year:
