I'm sure many of us would probably stay out all night under the stars, maybe snap photos and post them on social media sites. Right now, I try to view the world via that same quote, but only difference is I try to make it more applicable to our own lives. Like right now, while we are young, we are able and capable of walking, working, enjoying the beautiful sights (and not so beautiful sights), we are able to make use of all our senses. Who knows what happens in the future, if each of us would still be blessed with perfect vision, limbs that could still keep up with daily activities. I want to live with the same excitement and eagerness as children. I am still a bit guilty though of making too much use of technology. I gotta admit there are days when I spend way too much time on my smartphone or laptop that I miss out on enjoying the moment.

I've started crocheting again, and we've been getting out of the house more on the weekends. I kind of have been loving it. It's much more exciting as I'm an event driven person, so saying yes to activities instead of just watching TV has been a good way to keep our spirits lifted. I just added that book to my wishlist!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08300509693671365389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4329241847733153270.post-62141129462208256482015-07-23T15:22:57.351-04:002015-07-23T15:22:57.351-04:00It's like you took this right out of my head. ...It's like you took this right out of my head. I've felt so convicted lately on how much I'm on the internet and watching tv. Even though I'm home all day with a baby, I'm trying really hard to not turn the tv anymore. Plus, even at 4 months old she's starting to pay attention to it, and I need to nip that in the bud. I would so much rather go outside or cook or clean or nap or ANYTHING. Though James and I have been watching an episode of Blue Bloods before bed to unwind, and I love it. Just not all day!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155303404223970814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4329241847733153270.post-82547948144377814602015-07-23T11:10:02.849-04:002015-07-23T11:10:02.849-04:00Yesss this is so needed in our world today - time ...Yesss this is so needed in our world today - time to just be.

I'm always so much happier when we connect and talk and cook together or go for a walk. Although a good night of tv is needed once in a while! :)Laura Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05817637305623694718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4329241847733153270.post-78422463519813688012015-07-22T19:45:47.654-04:002015-07-22T19:45:47.654-04:00It's so hard for me to drag myself away from t...It's so hard for me to drag myself away from the TV sometimes, but I have been trying to be more cognizant of it in order to "smell the roses" more often!

Realistically, probably not every single day, but I seriously love doing new stuff with Wheat! That quote kind of floors me, too.

I definitely feel the urge to work on that because who knows what fun stuff I'm missing out on because I'm being a couch potato. And that comment about time flying right past us, so true! I cannot believe that we're nearing the end of July already.
