Trying To Be Better

My husband got free movie tickets from work awhile back, and I really wanted to see The Choice which was the new Nicholas Sparks Movie. He humored me, and after the movie he said "why do you always want to see movies where people cheat on people". I thought about it, and I found myself defending the movie. We talked about it some more, and I agreed that it really wasn't that good of  movie. I then realized that most chick flicks aren't really very good movies, but I am drawn to them. After he brought it up, and after talking about it a lot in class, I have been a lot more careful about the movies I choose to watch. So many movies portray such negative and worldly views on marriage, and in order to teach my children what a marriage really looks like, I need to work on not letting these views into my home. By watching these movies, I am showing that I am ok with these types of things. I am striving to be better so that the spirit can always dwell in my home.

Maybe TV Show Characters Can Be Friends...

I wrote a post awhile back called "My Best Friend is a TV Show Character...JK". I have come to the realization that this may actually have some truth to it. I just moved, and I don't have internet in my new apartment yet. I use my phone when I need to check assignments, or check my email. I have mostly just avoided the internet. This means that I have not been able to watch Netflix. My husband works in the evenings, so I am home alone at night quite a bit. I have realized that I hate the silence. I used to fill up the silence with Netflix. When I was cleaning, making dinner, or eating I had Netflix on. I found that I get so lonely and bored. I finish my homework and then it's so quiet. I find other things to do, but the silence makes me feel so isolated. I think it may be true that I really am friends with TV show characters. Without them, I notice a difference in my mood and how I feel.  This probably isn't healthy, so I will definitely be working on this.
