And perhaps you'll THRIVE!!!
No really, I mean it...in our 6 months back in the US, we have lived--actually done quite well--without a TV. Now that being said, we did again watch five out of six years of the series "Northern Exposure" during that period. We'll watch it again if you'd like when you visit.
It's amazing what you can learn to live without. And probably your lifestyle will improve vastly. Say, you just don't 'have time' to fish. Well, take the time that you spent watching the tube and I bet you'll now be able to do A LOT of fishing (I still have to get hooked.).
Of course, the area that we most put time into was our garden. And thanks to 9 Wonderfful Wwoofers, we came a long way in that creation. And with more vegetables--and I dare say, more vegetarians around--well...you will definitely be eating more healthfully.
As we also ended up living out of our cooler as the 'new' refrigerator, we also have ended up spending less money on propane. Our old propane/electrical fridge biting the dust didn't necessarily turn out too bad. It also made us even more mindful in planning our menu.
One block of ice every second or third day worked great!
Making changes has proved beneficial for us, and they may do the same for you, and if you really don't like your new lives, just change back! Promise, you won't melt!
in hono(u)r of Christmas
