My 2012 resolution was to take a class of some kind each month of the year: cheese & wine pairing, zumba, scuba lessons, knife skills, etc. It has been such a wonderful experience and a great way to continue to challenge myself. I will absolutely continue it in 2013.

Although I can't do this weeks challenge - TV shows starting back up is one of my favourite things about fall (along with the leaves changing colour, baking with pumpkins, lighting candles in the evening, sipping hot chocolate........).

We donated it to Goodwill that day. The cable company still doesn't believe we actually don't have t.v. they think we just changed carriers and don't want to tell them. They only stopped stalking us about a month ago. Anyway, almost immediately we noticed how wonderfully connected we felt without the incessant drone of the talking box invading our privacy. I think you'll discover so many wonderful surprises. Time you used to spend "trying to find something to watch" becomes time you actively use and enjoy. Your attention spans lengthens. Your time for snuggling and cozying up with a cup of tea and a great read is never cut short. You read more. You are less inclined to listen to or add to idle chatter. You look into your partners eyes more. I will never go back. So, I might be lacking a few pop culture references and touch stones every now and then but what I've gained in my quality of life and depth of intimacy with my husband put that to shame. I once heard someone say that you can live life or spend it watching other people live theirs. When faced with the choice so clearly, who would choose the latter?
