Unplugging

Since I have developed this computer habit, I have 'met' so many wonderful people. I have been allowed into so many people's lives, been able to support and be supported by so many wonderful people. If I don't check my reader every couple of hours I start feeling like things are happening out there without me! So that's going to make this very difficult.

I need to unplug for a while. It won't be long because I know I won't be able to stay away for too many days. But there have been things in my life that have suffered so I need to take a break and get some other things done. Honestly, I need to know that I can do it for goodness sake! It's almost scary to think that the idea of not hopping online to read what everybody has been doing brings on something akin to a small anxiety attack. I don't like to feel like anything controls me that much.

Getting away from this for a little while should allow me to come back fresh and with a certain amount of perspective and balance. I've never been good with moderation so when I feel something starting to slip away from me - I like to step back and get myself in hand. That's what I plan on doing now.

I will miss all my regular reads, and hope I will be missed too. I posted an avatar today so now there will be a face to go with the name I am hoping you will remember.

Bye for now - here is a nice picture to keep the beauty going. Ciao~

  1. Sometimes it's good to back off of something, no matter how much we love to do it.

  3. Girly-o, it sounds like a good move. As much as the internet has to offer, it can't replace real life experiences. I pretty much dropped off the face of the internet for a while because after not having access to it I realized how much I wasn't doing in the real world. It's tough to find a balance, but necessary. You certainly will be missed!

    Enjoy your freedom! We'll be here when you get back:)

  5. I really love the new picture of you! I know what this kind of addiction can do to a girl, so take all of the time you need and I'll be here when you get back.
