Today Ben and I decided to only let the kiddos watch T.V. on the weekends. And to my surprise Hannah was thrilled with the idea,
which only left me big John to
 soothe from this shocking blow.
Which he was indeed-VERY UPSET!
John LOVES coming home from a full day of challenging himself, and being 100 percent out of his comfort zone to the quiet numbing repetition of his favorite childhood movies to relax to. Usually we let both of them watch T.V. after they have completed their homework, read, and done household chores. So it really is not that much time that they are in front of the screen.
 But I am accountable that for years while Ben was in school I really let food, and the T.V. be mine and the kid's entertainment. I was grateful sometimes when I felt depressed that they had the television to turn to when I was emotionally unavailable, stressed out, or overwhelmed.
 BUT a new chapter has started in
 our families life, and FRESH, CLEAN
 air has filled our lungs!!
  New choices are available for all of us and T.V. just really is not in the picture
 (no pun intended-ha ha) how it used to be.
 HALLELUJAH!
Of course we are not ANTI-TELEVISION we are just listening and following what is in our awareness and hearts at this time.
 AND IT FEELS AMAZING!!
UNTIL THE WEEKEND :)
