My honey and I had a discussion about 'values'. We share a commitment to making choices with positive impact on the environment and came to a few conclusions.
We will make plans in advance - nothing like a degree of preparedness
We are willing to be inconvenienced for our values - we are willing to pay more up-front money and wait a few days if our Energy Star refrigerator fails for our new refrigerator choice.
We will continue our daily reading instead of mindlessly watching television - confession we haven't replaced our last one yet, but it's only been three months and we are enjoying the quiet.
We will make a priority of spending time together when we aren't working - at least one hour of quality time every day. (Hey, reading aloud to each other in bed counts). Yes we realize everyone has different lifestyles and responsibilities and for those working parents check out a few ideas here the ideas are great for singles too.
We commit to working to share our lifestyle with others. For the next 6 weeks we will be participating in Harvest like migrant farm workers, we'll let you know what we discover. And we hope your work is satisfying and life-affirming to you as well. Americans - "Enjoy your Labor Day Weekend!"
THE END
