Day 34: Read
I’ve seen plenty of sources citing that we don’t read anymore. While I remember this everytime I read through the comments section in magazine articles (you can’t comment on the title alone people!) there is still a fair share of reading going on. We spend hours reading through our Facebook or Twitter timelines. I’ll admit,…
Day 33: Marriage is a classroom
Today we reached a milestone. A whole year of marriage! I’m sure that now makes us experts. Tonight we sat down and chatted about what we’ve learned in this year and what our goals are for the next. As we laid out our goals and objectives I began to understand something. Marriage is a opportunity…

Day 24: Goals
I’m on day 24 of this end-of-the-day retrospective adventure. That’s long enough to have established a habit, right? It’s either 21 days or 3 months.
