My husband has always liked watching TV - sports, movies, financial shows, the news. Now that he's retired the television is on for a good part of the day. (Right now, the news is on constantly to keep up with what is going on in the Middle East). Me, I'm not a TV watcher - really never have been. After dinner is finished and cleaned up, that is when I'll sit down and turn on the television. I don't watch much and a lot of times it puts me to sleep. During the day, I take walks, go to yoga, work on my blog, read, volunteer, figure out what to have for dinner, get together with friends, go exploring, and if something spur-of-the-moment comes up, I'm out the door to do it. My hobbies aren't his. We have our life where we share all kinds of moments, trips, family events and doings, social events, sporting events, and lots more. Our strengths complement one another, we share core values and similar life goals, and in August we'll celebrate our 46th anniversary.
This is a lot of us...
ReplyDeleteIt sure is!
DeleteI read, with the TV as background noise, but I read faster in silence. I usually have music playing in the background.
ReplyDeleteI like music when I read.
DeleteI grew up in a house where the TV was not allowed to be turned on until after dinner. That habit has stayed with me all my life. It just does not seem right to have it on during the day.
ReplyDeleteThat was our house rule, too. Back in the day, we played outside as much as we could and knew we had to be home in time for dinner.
DeleteWe don't own a television. I grew up with one, my husband did not. We do happily read a great deal.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you've read so many great books!
