I didn't get on a computer once, and I only updated my Facebook status from my phone one time. I couldn't help it.

When my sister was in the hospital & I had her girls as well as mine (5 in all) I didn't spend much time online & found myself feeling the same way you just described. Life of course went back to routine & I find myself online again too much sigh.Myyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03248342096609316500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57893439892729979.post-41795500564775302292010-10-26T21:52:07.557-06:002010-10-26T21:52:07.557-06:00Such amazing insight.

But I have cut back and rarely get online while my kids are awake or hubby is home. It's great that I don't feel tied to the computer. but I still feel I need to cut back. Hmm. More thoughts on that another day! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07079868269171672843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57893439892729979.post-49520383066840893212010-10-26T19:18:42.963-06:002010-10-26T19:18:42.963-06:00Perfect.Perfect.Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14888242466359929076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57893439892729979.post-37921545168912111462010-10-26T18:34:57.492-06:002010-10-26T18:34:57.492-06:00I get a headache if I spend very long on the compu...I get a headache if I spend very long on the computer which has been a blessing for the very same reasons you're describing.

But what is so great about being human is the freedom we receive from having a little self control is what we do/don't do, write/don't write, say/don't say, go online/don't go online, etc.<br /><br />Thank you for reminding me of this. :)Katy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07112120052894478446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57893439892729979.post-84656690323414771552010-10-26T15:26:45.378-06:002010-10-26T15:26:45.378-06:00I have felt similarly at times.

I like the idea of not needing to publish every day, of not having deadlines that keep me so busy I cannot think of anything else. I was reading somewhere of someone who always took every weekend off, and someone else who only writes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I think I may have to work at a different kind of "regular" schedule myself soon. I know those feelings you talk about way too well!Pitterle Postingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944899733768126383noreply@blogger.com
