Weekends

So I have decided to start my own blog in an effort to enjoy time outside of the weekends. Since I work a normal 9-5 M-F, I typically LIVE for the weekends, but I would like to start enjoying more time outside of the weekends. I was pondering it this morning (MONDAY =EVIL), how I couldn't wait till next weekend, not that I have specific plans, I just feel as though I can enjoy the time on the weekends, while during the week is reserved for, working, working out, eating, sleeping, repeat. I have decided that I am now going to enjoy the time during the week more, and stop wishing my life away waiting for the weekends.

I was somewhat prompted to this topic by the preist at my church this weekend. He spoke on how we are all consumed by the next thing we are going to do and keeping busy, making sure the silence is silenced, by TV or the Radio, and not taking the time to talk to God in the silence (since this is the time that he is revealed to us). I feel that I do need to spend less time doing busy things like watching TV or goofing off on facebook and more time in my own thoughts and reading.

In an effort to do both of these I have begun this blog and have reserved the new Harry Potter. Alright, alright, I know, Harry Potter is probably not the most effective time I could spend reading, but it is a start, and after I graduated from college, I really wanted to make an effort to continue my education through reading, and I have failed. I'm hoping by getting in the 'swing' of reading with Harry Potter, I can continue with more 'grown-up' books.

So my goal is to try and live a little of my life in silence, what are your thoughts on my goal?
