Strawberries and songbirds


I don't miss TV anymore. 
When I got home from class tonight Julia and I went and picked strawberries and watched the birds at the bird feeder. That's become a typical evening for us. Before I Ho Chuan started this year, I would have come home, flopped on the couch and turned on the television. Julia would have spent tonight listening to commercials and not-that-great dramas. Instead she got to see where her fruit comes from and enjoy it. She also got to enjoy the beautiful birds. 
In the beginning it was really difficult to give it up, but now I'm seeing the benefits. To be honest, I don't know how I had the time to watch TV before. It's seems like I'm always doing something now which is a nice change. Before I just watched other people do stuff.
Change for the better.

Basic numbers: 202 crunches, 204 pushups, 208 kicks, 4 reps tai chi, 4 reps broadsword

Acts of kindness: made Mike breakfast and lunch, gave the dog a belly rub, gave the cat and dog treats, picked strawberries for Julia, filled the bird feeder.
